Description
For courses in Genetics found in biological sciences, agriculture, forestry, and health sciences
Balancing classical and modern genetics, Essentials of Genetics helps students understand basic genetic concepts, apply those concepts to biological problems, and use analytical reasoning to figure out which of many problem-solving techniques apply. This succinct overview offers clear writing and up-to-date coverage of new research that will capture students' interests. Interwoven Experimental discussions and applications illustrate the nature of scientific discovery, helping students connect the science of genetics to the issues of today.
