The passing down of traits from parent to child is called heredity and the study of how those traits go from generation to generation is called genetics. We start by learning what are DNA and genes and how they make us who we are. Find out more about the science of genetics.
Heredity ['hə-re-də-tē]

How do monoclonal antibodies work to treat cancer? This video explains how monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab, pembrolizumab, and rituximab block molecules cancer cells need to grow, flag cancer cells for destruction by the body’s immune system, or deliver harmful substances to cancer cells. https://cancer.gov/mab
