Description

For all introductory genetics courses.

Concepts of Genetics, 11th Edition emphasises the fundamental ideas of genetics, while exploring modern techniques and applications of genetic analysis. The best-selling text has a strong problem-solving approach, and this edition has been extensively updated with relevant, cutting-edge coverage of emerging topics in genetics.

Features

Keep Your Course Current and Relevant

NEW! Three new Special Topics in Modern Genetics mini-chapters explore cutting-edge topics, including updated content on Emerging Roles of RNA, Genetically Modified Foods, and Gene Therapy.
- NEW! For all Special Topics chapters, a series of questions have been added to send students back into the chapter to review key ideas or facilitate personal contemplations and group discussions.
NEW! Modern Approaches to Understanding Gene Function feature challenges students to understand how modern gene targeting approaches (such as the use of transgenic animals, knockout animals, and RNA interference) have dramatically advanced our understanding of gene function. Each entry highlights representative experimental approaches, analyses experimental data, and relates to a concept discussed in the chapter. Each feature includes questions for further analysis or discussion.
NEW! Evolving Concept of the Gene is a short feature, integrated in appropriate chapters, that highlights how scientists’ understanding of what a gene is has changed over time. Since we cannot see genes, we must infer just what this unit of heredity is, based on experimental findings. By highlighting how scientists’ conceptualisation of the gene has advanced over time, this feature helps students appreciate the process of discovery that has lead to an even more sophisticated understanding of hereditary information.
NEW! Chapter 24 Neurogenetics, previously entitled Behavior Genetics, has been completely reworked and redefined to reflect the wealth of information regarding the impact of genetics on the field of neurobiology, linking genetic analysis to brain function and brain disorders.

Motivate Students to Develop and Practice Problem-solving Skills

Now Solve This Problems are integrated throughout each chapter to test student knowledge while learning chapter content. Exercises include a hint to guide students and a brief answer is provided in the appendix. One Now Solve This problem per chapter is now linked to related end of chapter problems to make it easier for professors to assign similar problems for homework.
Insights and Solutions sections strengthen students’ problem solving skills by showing step-by-step solutions and rationales for select problems.
Problems and Discussion Questions are found at the end of every chapter. Extra Spicy Problems challenge students to solve complex problems, many based on data derived from primary genetics literature.
How Do We Know? questions appear as the first entry in the Problems and Discussion Questions and ask students to identify the experimental basis underlying important concepts and conclusions—that is, how we know what we know.

Emphasise the Fundamental Ideas of Genetics

Key Concepts are listed within chapter openers to help students focus on the core ideas of each chapter. The key concepts are revisited in greater detail in the end of chapter Summary Points.
NEW! Concepts Question is a new feature, found as the second question in the Problems and Discussion Questions that asks the student to review and comment on common aspects of the Key Concepts listed at the beginning of each chapter. This feature places added emphasis on the pedagogic approach of conceptual learning.

Engage Students in Active and Cooperative Learning

Updated! Case studies at the end of each chapter have been updated with new topics. Students can read and answer questions about a short scenario related to one of the chap
