Title overview

For all introductory genetics courses

Known for its focus on conceptual understanding, problem solving, and practical applications, the bestselling Essentials of Genetics strengthens problem-solving skills and explores the essential genetics topics that today's students need to understand. The 10th Edition has been extensively updated to provide comprehensive coverage of important, emerging topics such as CRISPR-Cas, epigenetics, and genetic testing. Additionally, a new Special Topics chapter covers Advances in Neurogenetics with a focus on Huntington Disease, and new essays on Genetics, Ethics, and Society emphasise ethical considerations that genetics is bringing into everyday life.

Mastering with Pearson eText gives you access to the Mastering platform plus the eText app, personalisation with notes and highlights, integrated videos, animations, and practice questions, and links from Mastering for quick help.

To access Mastering you need a Course ID from your instructor.
