Peter J. Russell Libri

This text's step-by-step method reveals the logic behind genetic experiments and the interpretation of experimental data, thereby emphasizing critical thinking. Russell continues to demystify genetics by incorporating problem-solving techniques, including solved end-of-chapter problems, and additional questions and problems. This fourth edition features a reorganization of chapters which includes a new introductory chapter, updated coverage of molecular genetics, new chapter-ending problems, new and revised art, and new chapter-opening photographs with captions.

Reflects the dynamic nature of modern genetics by emphasizing an experimental, inquiry-based approach. This text is useful for students who have had some background in biology and chemistry and who are interested in learning the central concepts of genetics.

Presents an introduction to genetics, including basic genetics principles, with coverage of Mendel, historical experiments, and chapters on genome analysis and molecular evolution. This book enables students to develop and apply critical thinking skills, as they work step-by-step through a number of solved genetics problems.
