Full Description
Key BenefitKnown for its focus on conceptual understanding, problem solving, and practical applications, this bestseller strengthens problem-solving skills and explores the essential genetics topics that today's students need to understand. The Ninth Edition maintains the text's brief, less-detailed coverage of core concepts and has been extensively updated with relevant, cutting-edge coverage of emerging topics in genetics. The accompanying MasteringGenetics online homework and assessment system has been updated with over 100 practice problems and an expanded selection of assignable end-of-chapter problems.Key Topics: Introduction to Genetics, Mitosis and Meiosis, Mendelian Genetics, Modifications of Mendelian Ratios, Sex Determination and Sex Chromosomes, Chromosome Mutations: Variation in Number and Arrangement, Linkage and Chromosome Mapping in Eukaryotes, Genetic Analysis and Mapping in Bacteria and Bactierophages, DNA Structure and Analysis, DNA Replication and Recombination, Chromosome Structure and DNA Sequence Organization, The Genetic Code and Transcription, Translation and Proteins, Gene Mutation, DNA Repair, and Transposition, Regulation of Gene Expression, The Genetics of Cancer, Recombinant DNA Technology, Genomics and Proteomics, Applications and Ethics of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Developmental Genetics, Quantitative Genetics and Multifactorial Traits, Population and Evolutionary Genetics, Special Topics in Modern Genetics 1: Epigenetics, Special Topics in Modern Genetics 2: Emerging Roles of RNA, Special Topics in Modern Genetics 3: DNA Forensics, Special Topics in Modern Genetics 4: Genomics and Personalized Medicine, Special Topics in Modern Genetics 5: Genetically Modified Foods, Special Topics in Modern Genetics 6: Gene TherapyMarket:This book is a powerful, student-friendly reference for anyone who wants to strengthen genetics problem-solving skills and explore current and essential genetics topics.
