A Guinea Pig's History of Biology
by Jim Endersby
Guinea pigs were first bred as a source of food and as domestic pets and later became laboratory animals. Along with fruit flies, zebra fish and other organisms, they have helped scientists find out more about genetics and how traits are inherited through successive generations.
In this book, Endersby traces back the history of biology, from Mendel’s work with grass and Darwin’s hand-pollination of flowers to the laboratories of today. Through his story, he uncovers the mystery of DNA and how it determines the characteristics of an adult organism. In addition to being informative and entertaining, readers are challenged to consider the ethical dilemmas presented by biology in the modern world.
To take part in the competition you must log-in and answer this skill-testing question:
Gregor Mendel's experiments with which plant disproved the results he obtained when he bred peas?
* Corn
* Soybean
* Evening primrose
* Passion flowers
Good luck!
