Integrating concepts from molecular and classical genetics, this visually appealing text for an introductory undergraduate course emphasizes the development of critical thinking and quantitative reasoning, and provides students with a sense of the social and historical context of the field of genetics. The text is designed specifically for a shorter, less comprehensive course; coverage progresses from an overview of the gene through molecular evolution. Learning features include full-sentence headings communicating main ideas, and summaries of important concepts integrated throughout. Boxes on the human connection highlight key research papers that raise important scientific, social, or legal issues. The text's color design includes color photos, labeled process illustrations, and color and b&w images on every page. This fifth edition contains new and updated material on topics including genetic analysis, probability in genetics, and pathogenicity islands. A new companion web site provides animated flashcards and practice quizzes. Hartl is professor of biology in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University.
