This is a cutting-edge, introductory genetics text authored by an unparalleled team, including Nobel Prize winner Leland Hartwell. The second edition continues to build upon the integration of Mendelian and molecular principles, providing students with the links between early genetics understanding and the new molecular discoveries that have changed the way the field of genetics is viewed. - The Model Organism Portrait chapters, now in an end-of-the-book reference section, have been completely updated by contributing experts in the field to reflect the most current information on each organism. - Revised and expanded end-of-chapter problems include Social & Ethical Issues - these questions prompt the student to apply problem-solving skills to the type of real-world situations that scientific breakthroughs have forced us to face as a society. - Feature Figures combine art and text in special two-page and four-page spreads that summarize the central genetic processes for students who appreciate a visual synopsis of the core ideas.
