Genetics: A Conceptual Approach
Author:Benjamin Pierce
Edition:7th Edition
Genetics is introduced through a concept-driven exploration of heredity, inheritance, and molecular biology, connecting foundational principles to modern discoveries in biology and medicine. It covers chromosomes, gene expression, DNA replication, genetic variation, biotechnology, genomics, epigenetics, development, cancer genetics, population genetics, and evolution, emphasizing how genetic mechanisms shape organisms and influence health, diversity, and biological processes across life.
