The Study Guide for Introductory Genetics is a workbook that was developed as a main source of course instructional material and was designed to increase the understanding and learning efficiency of students. Furthermore, it has been eagerly adopted by students and has been described as a complete, yet very understandable source of information in introductory genetics.
By incorporating a large variety of important topics and in using organisms at both prokaryotic and eukaryotic levels and in the plant and animal kingdoms for demonstrational purposes, it meets the needs of an audience belonging to a broad spectrum of science majors.
- Some of the various contents of the workbook include:
- Principles of Mendelian inheritance.
- Mechanisms of cell function and division.
- Sex determination.
- Genetic material and its replication and expression.
- Mutilation and DNA repair.
- Quantitative genetics.
- DNA cloning and sequencing.
- Gene therapy and CRISPR technology.
