Introduction to genetic analysis

"With its author team of prominent scientists who are also highly accomplished educators, An Introduction to Genetic Analysis again combines exceptional currency, expansive updating of its acclaimed problem sets, and a variety of new ways to learn genetics. Historical experiments have also been woven into the text to help students understand how discoveries are made.This textbook can also be packaged with SaplingPlus; an online learning platform that combines heavily research based pre-lectures with the robust Sapling homework system, in which every problem has targeted feedback, hints, and a fully worked and explained solution. An experienced author team brings together a unique set of expertise and perspectives to help master concepts and succeed in developing problem-solving skills."--[Source inconnue]

"The twelfth edition of Introduction to Genetic Analysis takes this cornerstone textbook to the next level. The hallmark focus on genetic analysis, quantitative problem solving, and experimentation continues in this new edition. For the first time, this textbook comes with SaplingPlus, the best online resource to teach students the problem-solving skills they need to succeed in genetics. SaplingPlus combines Sapling's acclaimed automatically graded online homework with an extensive suite of engaging multimedia learning resources."--Page 4 de la couverture.
