Focus on essential genetic topics and
explore the latest breakthroughs
Known for its focus on conceptual understanding, problem solving, and practical
applications, the bestselling Essentials of Genetics strengthens problem-solving
skills and explores the essential genetics topics that today’s students need
to understand. The 10th Edition has been extensively updated to provide
comprehensive coverage of important, emerging topics such as CRISPR-Cas,
epigenetics, and genetic testing. Mastering Genetics includes new tutorials
on topics such as CRISPR-Cas and epigenetics, and new, mobile-ready Dynamic
Study Modules, which prepare students for class and support the learning of
key concepts.
