The present title Encyclopaedia of Genetics is an exciting, and dynamic branch of science and offers the finest approach to teaching genetics through the integration of the molecular and chemical subdisciplines. It prepares the students to learn to formulate genetic hypothesis and apply critical thinking skill necessary for problem solving, while also gaining a sense of the social and historical context in which genetics has developed. This text also has a completely novel way to illustrate the one or two experiments in each chapter that are rigorously examined according to the scientific method. It starts with the premise that the syllabus for a university course in genetics should reflect the major research issues of the new millennium rather than those topics that were in vogue during the last decades of nineteenth century. The text covers both the basic and practical aspects of Genetics. Fundamental knowledge is developed within the context of applied relevance. Principles are supplemented with examples. This is done to maintain student interest, which is essential for learning any subject. Volume Details: 1. Genetic Material and Analysis; 2. Physical Basis of Inheritance; 3. Chemical Basis of Inheritance; 4. Origin and Evolution of Genetics; 5. Population Genetics.
