Opis: I Genetics - Peter J. Russell, P RusselL

* Cutting edge chapters on Genome Analysis and Molecular Evolution. * iGenetics CD-ROM free with every new text, includes 50 animations, 24 iActivities, and hundreds of interactive problem-solving exercises that help students grasp abstract processes and active problem solving. This free student CD-ROM is available in two versions-one with solutions for all the problems in the text and one without. * 24 iActivities-one for each text chapter-promote interactive problem solving. Building on chapter-opening case studies, the iActivities present real-life genetics problems that help develop students critical thinking skills and actively engage them in applying their understanding of genetics. * Media flags throughout the text direct students to 50 narrated animations on the iGenetics CD-ROM; these animations (all scripted and developed by Peter Russell) help students visualize challenging concepts. For example, animations of meiosis and recombinant DNA bring text images to life by taking students through a process from start to finish, thereby reinforcing the content. * Step-by-step problem sets throughout the book represent a wide range of topics and difficulty levels, and give students practice in problem solving. * Experimental data emphasizes an inquiry-based approach and engages students in the process of science. * Pedagogy: Principal Points, appearing at the beginning of each chapter, alert students to key concepts. Keynotes, at the end of each new topic within a chapter, summarize important ideas and allow students to check their progress. Summary at the end of each chapter ties all the main points together. Analytical Approaches at the end of each chapter guide students step-by-step through genetic problems. * Human examples help students comprehend new molecular understandings of various human genetic diseases.1.
