The solutions mega manual contains complete worked-out solutions to all the problems in the textbook. Used in conjunction with the main text, this manual is one of the best ways to develop a fuller appreciation of genetic principles.
This new brief version of Benjamin Pierce’s Genetics: A Conceptual Approach, Third Edition, responds to a growing trend of focusing the introductory course on transmission and population genetics and covering molecular genetics separately.
Based on the author's more than twenty years of teaching experience, Genetics: A Conceptual Approach offers a fresh new way of introducing the major concepts and mechanics of genetics, focusing students on the big picture without overwhelming them with detail.
She has her mother's eyes. He has his father's nose. People, animals, and plants inherit traits from their parents through their genes. Variations and new combinations of genes create the differences that make each individual unique. Through simplified explanations of complex scientific concepts, full-color images, and informative sidebars, this book supports the Next Generation Science Standards on heredity and inheritance of traits by discussing how genes are passed on through the generations, how variations occur, and how these genetic changes can help humans and other populations survive. A Further Reading section with current books and websites and a bibliography encourage further exploration of the subject.
