For laboratory study in introductory genetics courses found in biology, Botany and Zoology departments.
Designed to be used with any textbook in the field, this manual offers a broad and inclusive array of self-contained, open-ended laboratory investigations in both classical and molecular genetics. Exceptionally student-oriented, it leads students step-by-step through each investigation - using diagrams, photographs, sequenced questions, appropriate references, and worked examples, etc. The investigations use a variety of organisms, are cost efficient, and often focus on cutting-edge topics.
