Snustad provides scientists with the confidence to apply problem solving to the major principals of genetics. It eases them into the art of problem solving by integrating problems within each chapter. A clear connection between key principals and related problems is presented in each chapter. Icons help them clearly see how a problem is worked out before reading on. The fifth edition has also been revised with an improved art program. It offers more balanced coverage of traditional and modern topics by weaving classical genetics with molecular genetics, and illustrating the connection between the two. The book is problem-solving-centric as well. Chapters now contain problems that correlate with major principals. Coverage of both classic experiments and current research will allow scientists to gain perspective on the process of science.

From the Preface of this 823 page text in a three-ring binder: "This edition continues our efforts to offer a book that balances new information with fundamental principles. As in previous editions, we have been guided by four overarching goals: To Focus on the Basic Principles of Genetics; To Focus on the Scientific Process; To Focus on Human Genetics; and To Focus on Developing Critical Thinking Skills. The text comprises 25 chapters. Chapters 1-2 introduce the science of genetics, basic features of cellular reproduction, and some of the model genetic organisms; Chapters 3-8 present the concepts of classical genetics and the basic procedures for the genetic analysis o9f microorganisms; Chapters 9-14 present the topics of molecular genetics, including DNA replication, transcription, translation, mutation, and definition of the gene; Chapters 15-18 cover more advanced topic in molecular genetics and genomics; Chapters 19-22 deal with the regulation of gene expression and the genet

Principles of Genetics is one of the most popular texts in use for the introductory course. It opens a window on the rapidly advancing science of genetics by showing exactly how genetics is done. Throughout, the authors incorporate a human emphasis and highlight the role of geneticists to keep students interested and motivated. The sixth edition has been updated to reflect the latest developments in the field of genetics. Principles of Genetics continues to educate today’s students for tomorrow’s science by focusing on features that aid in content comprehension and application.

Work more effectively and gauge your progress as you go along! This Study Guide &amp; Problems Workbook that accompanies Snustad’s Principles of Genetics, 3rd Edition, is written to be a hands-on workbook to help you learn and reinforce terminology and concepts, develop problem-solving skills, and challenge your mind. Learning introductory genetics requires both communication of knowledge and solution of problems. To communicate your newly acquired knowledge involves learning new terminology. Solving genetics problems requires the ability to analyze and interpret data. Genetics becomes fascinating and interesting as your confidence in understanding and using your knowledge grows. 
In the rapidly advancing science of genetics, currency and accuracy are critical in any book. Snustad &amp; Simmons’ Principles of Genetics, 3rd Edition presents the most up-to-date developments in genetics as well as the fundamental principles. It stresses how genetics is done and provides historical and biographical insights to the people and events that have made genetics a pre-eminent science. The authors provide a clear, concise presentation of the basic principles and concepts of genetics. The text contains discussions of the methods and experiments upon which genetic principles are based, such as DNA replication. It offers topics such as the Human Genome, inherited human diseases, and the genetic basis of human behavior are discussed in the book and in special Human Genetics Sidelights. The third edition includes many updates to the genomics material.

The cover shows many facets of genetics. Top row, Left: The DNA double-helix, here imaged in a scanning tunneling micrograph, is central to all genetics research. Right: Experimentation has shown that some social behaviors, such as nest cleaning by honeybees, is under genetic control. Second row, Left: Inherited disorders such as albinism, manifested here in a bullfrog, have provided many insights about the genetic control of metabolism. Right: Gregor Mendel's 19th-century work with pea plants elucidated the basic principles of inheritance. Third row, Left: Efforts to combat HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, depend on knowing how the virus expresses its genes inside the cells of the immune system. Right: The fruit fly is ideally suited for studies on the genetic control of embryonic development and organ formation. Fourth row, Left: The identification of mutations that cause unregulated cell division facilitates the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of breast cancer. Right: HeLa cells, derived in 1951 from Henrietta Lacks, a woman who died of cervical cancer, thrive in the laboratory and are used in research worldwide. Bottom row: The replication of chromosomes (left) is a prerequsite for cell division (right).
