I was looking for an easy way to explain DNA, Gene splicing, SNP, Jumping genes, Transposons and such to a non biologist without using too much technical jargons... fashion,now go on read about Gene splicing, SNP, Jumping genes, Transposons you would understand them better.
I guess perhaps we can use the same to explain to students or non
