Genetics 3e
Genetics occupies a unique central position among the various biological sciences because of its diverse specializations. This acclaimed book provides the basic theoretical information on genetics, the study of heredity and details some of the experiments and reasoning which yield this information. The book is organized into six parts and deals with the identification, transmission and distribution, arrangement, structure, and function of genetic material. The last part of the book deliberates on the course of genetic material in populations. The comprehensive material is supported by a multitude of illustrations and references and problems in every chapter.
