Introduction to Genetics: A Molecular Approach
Introduction to Genetics: A Molecular Approach is a new textbook for first and second year undergraduates. It explains transmission genetics by first presenting molecular structures and mechanisms before introducing the more challenging concepts and terminology associated with transmission genetics. Then the text addresses the role of genetics in the world today, from agriculture and industry to medicine and forensics. Genetics is a practical subject and the experimental basis of genetics is explained throughout the text in discrete "Research Briefings." Extensive end-of-chapter questions include definitions and conceptual problems. Other supplements include the art program in PowerPoint and JPEG formats; animations; and a question bank and lecture slides for instructors.
Introduction to Genetics presents the basic facts and concepts with enough depth of knowledge to stimulate students to move on to more advanced aspects of the subject. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 examines the function of the gene as a unit of biological information. Part 2 studies the role of the gene as a unit of inheritance. And Part 3 explores some of the areas of research that are responsible for the high profile that genetics has in our modern world, from agriculture and industry to medicine and forensics, and the ethical challenges that genetic knowledge imparts.
Introduction to Genetics is available for purchase as an e-book in its entirety or as individual chapters, and as a 1-year or 6-month rental.
