Product Description
Completely updated to reflect new discoveries and current thinking in the field, the fourth edition of Essential Genetics is designed for the shorter, less comprehensive introductory course in genetics. The text is written in a clear, lively, and concise manner, and includes many special features that make the book "user friendly." Topics were carefully chosen to provide a solid foundation for understanding the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation. The text also helps students develop skills in problem solving, achieve a sense of the social and historical context in which genetics has developed, and become aware of the genetic resources and information available through the Internet.
Reader ReviewsI bought this book online because I needed it for my Genetics class in the spring semester. I'm happy with Amazon for shipping it on time; the Prime membership is really worth it. The book itself is perfect for anyone trying to understand genetics for the first time. I have taken genetics classes before, and this book really helped me refresh my memory. It is suitable for the person who wishes to teach him/herself, and it is great for the person wishing to specialize in this area. If you're considering buying the book, get it. It's worth every penny.
