SOLVING PROBLEMS IN GENETICS - RICHARD KOWLES K...

The principle objective of this book is to help undergraduate students in the analysis of
genetic problems. Many students have a great deal of difficulty doing genetic analysis  and the
book will be useful regardless of which genetics text is being used. Most texts provide some
kinds of problems and answers: few  if any  however  show the students how to actually solve
the problem. Often the student has no idea how the answer was derived. This work emphasizes
solutions  not just answers. The strategy is to provide the student with the essential steps
and the reasoning involved in conducting the analysis. Throughout the book  an attempt is made
to present a balanced account of genetics. Topics  therefore  center about Mendelian 
cytogenetic  molecular  quantitative  and population genetics  with a few more specialized
areas. Whenever possible the student is provided with the appropriate basic statistics
necessary to make some of the analyses. The book also builds on itself  that is  analytical
methods learned in early parts of the book are subsequently revisited and used for later
analyses. A deliberate attempt is made to make complex concepts simple  and sometimes to point
out that apparently simple concepts are sometimes less so on further investigation. Any student
taking a genetics course will find this book an invaluable aid to achieving a good
understanding of genetic principles and practice.
