Abstract

Contents:

pt. 1. Genes, chromosomes, and heredity. Introduction to genetics -- Mitosis and meiosis -- Mendelian genetics -- Extensions of Mendelian genetics -- Chromosome mapping in eukaryotes -- Genetic analysis and mapping in bacteria and bacteriophages -- Sex determination and sex chromosomes -- Chromosome mutations: variation in chromosome number and arrangement -- Extranuclear inheritance -- pt. 2. DNA: structure, replication, and variation. DNA structure and analysis -- DNA replication and recombination -- DNA organization in chromosomes -- pt. 3. Expression and regulation of genetic information. The genetic code and transcription -- Translation and proteins -- Gene mutation, DNA repair, and transposition -- Regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes -- Regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes -- Cell cycle regulation and cancer -- pt. 4. Genomic analysis. Recombinant DNA technology -- Genomics and proteomics -- Dissection of gene function: mutational analysis in model organisms -- Applications and ethics of biotechnology -- pt. 5. Genetics of organisms and populations. Developmental genetics of model organisms -- Quantitative genetics and multifactorial traits -- Population genetics -- Evolutionary genetics -- Conservation genetics.

Summary: For one- or two-term courses in Genetics in the departments of Biology, Zoology, Agriculture or Health Science.This text is known for its clear writing style, emphasis on concepts, visual art program and thoughtful coverage of all areas of genetics. The authors capture students' interest with up-to-date coverage of cutting edge topics and research. This text will help students connect the science of genetics to the issues of today through interesting and thought-provoking applications. The sixth edition boasts the next generation of media integration including Gen CD-X (student CD-ROM and Companion Website)
