Cells, Genes and Protein Machines Coloring Book
- This coloring book is for children in grades 1 to 3. It is a story that teaches children that a gene, when active, makes a specific protein in the cells of the human body. When every cell type carries a full set of genes, each different type uses only the subset needed for its specific function. (National Cancer Institute)
