Title overview

Hallmark features of this title

Problem-solving skills

  • Genetic Analysis worked examples guide students using a consistent 3-step approach of Evaluate, Deduce, and then Solve problems.
  • Break It Down prompts in worked examples start students in formulating an approach to solving a problem by breaking down essential information.

Applications of genetics

  • Case Studies are real-world examples that highlight chapter concepts and show practical applications of genetics.
  • 9 Foundation Figures combine visuals and words to help students grasp pivotal genetics concepts in a concise, easy-to-follow format.
  • An integrated evolutionary perspective helps students keep sight of important evolutionary principles while learning core concepts.
