The definitive genetics lab manual for over 60 years, this user-friendly volume stresses classical genetics, but includes some of the recent advances related to molecular and human genetics as well. In response to feedback from genetics instructors, the Fourteenth Edition provides new photos, new problems and examples, updated content, and updated teaching tips in the accompanying Instructor’s Manual.
The Fourteenth Edition is also available for customization through the Pearson Custom Library online database.
