Genetic Analysis

Beschreibung

Authored by a very eminent geneticist, this text gives students athorough appreciation of the development and potential ofanalytical genetic techniques. Beginning with a consideration ofboth the classical Mendelian and the molecular biological aspectsof genetic analysis, the book goes on to discuss progress in threekey areas of genetics. Firstly the elucidation of the detailedstructure and overall organization of the genome, secondly the waythat genetic differences at the molecular level account forheritable variation in populations, and finally an explanation ofhow the genes control the metabolism and development of the wholeorganism. Professor Fincham takes as his theme the links betweenclassical and molecular genetics, and throughout the book shows howthe combination of these two approaches can be a powerful tool forthe advancement of genetic research. * A clear and simple text from one of the world's leadinggeneticists * Abundant and innovative illustrations * Links classical Mendelian genetics with the new moleculargenetic techniques
