 Description: 
Teach the students basic genetic principles and applications

Genetic Theory emphasizes the basic principles of genetics, while discussing current methods and applications of genetic research. This best-selling text aims to provide simple explanations for complex theoretical topics and highlights the value of teaching students how to succeed in solving problems.
The 12th edition was extensively revised to include important new subjects such as CRISPR-Cas and the research in eukaryotes of posttranscriptional gene control. The parts of Biology, Ethics, and Culture and Case Study provide an expanded perspective on ethical problems that biology introduces into daily life. The accompanying online platform MasteringTM Genetics is updated with new interactive analytical tutorials and modules.
