Biology

My mom's major in college was biology so she really is fascinated with the study of life. She told me something about the human genome. I wanted to know what it is and why it is so interesting. Some famous scientist I think discovered the human genome in like 2001. I just want to learn about diseases and their effects on the human being. People are telling me that biology is really interesting to learn. I also want to learn about stem cell research because it sounds like a huge sicentic discovery. I know it has something to do with a single cell multiplying to form a human baby.
