The essentials of genetics / Neil Jones, A. Karp, G. Giddings

By: Jones, Neil.
Contributor(s): Giddings, G | Karp, A.
Series: Advanced biology readers. Publisher: London : John Murray, 2001Description: x, 278 p. ; 24 cm.ISBN: 0719586119; 9780719586118.Subject(s): GeneticsDDC classification: 575.1
Contents:
1. What is genetics? - 2. Mitosis and meiosis. - 3. Mendelian inheritance 1 : segregation. - 4. Mendelian inheritance II : independent segregation. - 5. Genes and chromosomes. - 6. Linkage and recombination. - 7. Sex-linked inheritance. - 8. Modofied genetic ratios. - 9. Multiple alleles and blood groups. - 10. Continuous variation. - 11. DNA and chromosomes. - 12. DNA and genes. - 13. Gene mutation. - 14. Chromosome mutation. - 15. Genes in populations. - 16. Natural selection and speciation. - 17. Selection imposed by humans. - 18. Genetic engineering. - 19. Applications of genetic technology to humans.
Summary: The Essentials of Genetics introduces the subject by looking at how characteristics are passed from one generation to another, and the processes that lead to variation within a species. The molecular structure of chromosomes and genes is explained to show how information is coded and expressed within the cell. The text then explains how variation within populations is measured, how it can be influenced by human activity, and how natural selection can lead to the information of the new species. The final chapters look at the impact of genetic engineering, and the application of gene technology to humans. Based on Introducing Genetics by R. N. Jones and A. Karp, The essentials of genetics procides a thorough, up-to-date application in the modern world. - Back cover
