Description
PEARSON INDIA Concepts Of Genetics 11Th Edition by Klug and Cummings and Spencer and Palladino
Pearson presents the Eleventh Edition of Concepts of Genetics—a text now entering its fourth decade of providing support for students studying in this field, has occasioned still another fresh look. In addition to the normal updating that is inevitably required, this new edition focusses on the need to increase the opportunities for instructors and students to engage in active and cooperative learning approaches and the need to provide more comprehensive, cutting-edge coverage of important and emerging topics in genetics. This edition emphasizes the fundamental ideas of genetics and a strong problem-solving approach, while exploring modern techniques and applications of genetic analysis.

Salient Features:
"1. Modern Approaches to Understanding Gene Function feature challenges students to understand how modern gene targeting approaches have dramatically advanced our understanding of gene function. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. Neurogenetics 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."
