Logan, an 11-year-old from Washington State who has a plan for scientists interested in cloning a woolly mammoth. Seth, a 12-year-old from Kansas who got excited about genetics when he visited an agronomy farm. Rob deSalle, a molecular biologist who answers kids' questions, including "Do all species of plants and animals have the same amount of DNA?"
