I received a link to a national essay contest on DNA. You can make a cool $350 (that's three-FITTY!) if you win. Use your well-versed writing skills to write about this most important molecule of life. The essay question choices are:
1.Why is it important for everyone to know about DNA and genetics?
In your essay, include what you think everyone should know about genetics. Consider how genetics plays a role in our daily lives. Why is genetics important now? How will it play a role in the future?
2.If you were a genetics researcher, what would you like to study (and why)?
Here is the link:
