Description:

An invaluable student-tested study aid, this primer provides guided instruction in the analysis and interpretation of genetic principles and problem solving. Each section is introduced with a summary of key concepts and an overview of the topic with key terms. A series of problems, graded from simple to more complex, then allows students to test their understanding of the material. Each question and answer is provided with a detailed explanation. A glossary of genetic terminology also provides quick access to basic information for the geneticist and non-geneticist alike. This new edition includes additional problems, extensively expanded coverage of molecular biology, new 'overview'…
