Igenetics : A Molecular Approach - AND Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences (1 International ed)

iGenetics: A Molecular Approach: International Edition, 2/e iGenetics: A Molecular Approach reflects the dynamic nature of modern genetics by emphasizing an experimental, inquiry-based approach with a solid treatment of many research experiments.

The text is ideally suited for students who have had some background in biology and chemistry and who are interested in learning the central concepts of genetics.

Problem solving is a major feature of the text and students have the opportunity to apply critical thinking skills to a variety of problems at the end of each chapter.

Pedagogical features such as Principal Points, at the beginning of each chapter, and Keynotes, strategically placed throughout the chapter, are useful learning tools. The iGenetics CD-ROM and the companion website contain 25 activities and 59 narrated animations, all of which are based on text figures, to help students visualize complex processes and challenging concepts they encounter in the main text. Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences, 2/e "Practical Skills in Biomolecular Science," is an indispensable book for undergraduate students in the life sciences. The book provides useful support at all stages of a degree course and underpins any practical course in biochemistry, biomedical science, genetics, immunology and microbiology.

It is also a valuable resource for teachers of biology in colleges and secondary schools. Laboratory and field studies are essential components of undergraduate training in biomolecular science.

Practical work must be fully understood and effectively presented, but many students under-perform because they lack basic laboratory skills.

This book, now in its second edition, continues to provide students with easy-to-use guidance for laboratory and field studies, but in addition it now covers broader transferable skills.

As a result the new edition provides guidance and support over the entire range of a typical undergraduate course in biochemistry and biomedical science.
