By: Tamarin, Robert HMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Boston : WCB/McGraw-Hill, c1999Edition: 6th editionDescription: xvi, 686 pages : illustrations (some color), color maps ; 28 cmISBN: 9780697354624 ; 0697354628Subject(s): GeneticsDDC classification: 575.1
Contents:
Part 1 Genetics and the scientific method: introduction. Part 2 Mendel's principles: mitosis and meiosis; probability and statistics; sex determination; sex linkage, and pedigree analysis; linkage and mapping in eukaryotes; linkage and mapping in prokaryotes and bacterial viruses; cytogenetics. Part 3 Molecular genetics: chemistry of the gene; gene expression - transcription; gene expression - translation; recombinant DNA technology; gene expression - control in prokaryotes and phages; the eukaryotic chromosome; gene expression - control in eukaryotes; DNA - its mutation, repair and recombination; non-Mendelian inheritance. Part 4 Quantitative and evolutionary genetics: quantitative inheritance; population genetics - the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and mating systems; population genetics - processes that change allelic frequencies; evolution and speciation; appendices.
Summary: This edition offers a balanced treatment of major areas of genetics - both classical and molecular population. The molecular coverage has been updated to reflect recent advances such as DNA cloning and the "Human Genome Project". Critical thinking questions have been added to each chapter
