About The Book Fundamentals Of Cytogenetics And Genetics

Book Summary:

This comprehensive and well-written text provides thorough understanding of the principles and applications of cytogenetics and genetics in an easy-to-understand style.

The text is divided into Four parts. Part I on Principles of Cytogenetics deals with evolution and structure of cell, cell division and change, and structure of genetic material. Part II on Principles of Genetics provides detailed discussions on transmission, distribution and arrangement of genetic material, and evolution of species. Part III which is on Molecular Genetics discusses functions of genetic material including biotechnology and genetic engineering, and the last Part IV on Quantitative Genetics deliberates on the course of genetic material in populations.

A historical approach to the subject has also been presented to show the continuity and progress.

KEY FEATURES :

Incorporates latest and up-to-date information on the subjects covered.

Provides review questions at the end of each chapter to test the understanding of the concepts discussed.

Gives ample references to explore further.

Includes a glossary of important terms.

The book is eminently suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of botany, agriculture, zoology and biotechnology for courses in genetics/genetics and cytogenetics. In addition, the book would also be useful to students appearing in different competitive examinations.
