Customer Reviews

Awazing

Great help to those who want to go into genetics or just want to learn a few new facts. Lots of diagrams and pictures to go along with the information for better understanding. Also the book does a great job on explaining most of the topics, a few i think are just difficult to grasp.

Excellent Intro and More

This is extremely well written introducton for undergraduates. I am using it as the backup since my instructor assigned Harwell et al's book, which is not nearly as well written. This book has excellent graphics, the whole book is well organized and well written.

great book, concise

This book covers genetics quite well its concise. It covers all the topics pretty well and also has plenty of genetic problems to make sure you know your stuff. I'd recommend getting the solutions book as well
