Genetic Diseases and Heredity

Nature to Go! Suitcase Exhibition

Genetic Diseases and Heredity is a suitcase-sized exhibition that explains what genetic diseases are and how we inherit them. With the help of interactive activities, colourful text panels, fun computer games and 3-D models, you will find out how humans inherit genetic diseases and learn about the different types of genetic diseases that can affect us. You'll also read about the amazing research Canadian scientists are doing to understand these diseases and discover new treatments and cures.
