iGenetics: A Molecular Approach: Pearson New International Edition 3rd Edition b

Description: iGenetics: A Molecular Approach by Peter Russell With its modern chapter organization and new "Focus on Genomics" boxes, iGenetics: A Molecular Approach reflects the increasing molecular emphasis in todays experimental study of genes while helping students develop problem-solving skills and an appreciation for classic experiments. Although molecular topics are presented first, instructors can assign the chapters in any sequence. Pedagogical features such as chapter-opening "Key Questions" and strategically placed "Keynotes" help students to efficiently master genetic concepts. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Peter J. Russell received his B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Sussex, U.K., in 1968 and his Ph.D. in Genetics from Cornell University in 1972. He then joined the Biology faculty of Reed College in 1972 where he is currently Professor of Biology. Russell teaches an upper-division genetics and molecular biology lecture/laboratory course, the genetics section of the introductory biology course, an advanced seminar course in molecular virology, and advises senior thesis research students. He is also the author of a number of successful biology and genetics textbooks, including iGenetics: A Molecular Approach. He is currently studying the molecular genetics of gene expression of a plant pathogenic RNA virus, using the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as the model host. The research goals are to define the genes of the host that encode products required for the expression of a specific gene involved in aphid transmission of the virus. His earlier research involved studies of ribosome biosynthesis and the organization of and regulation of the number of ribosomal RNA genes in Neurospora. Table of Contents 1.

Molecular Evolution Long Description With its modern chapter organization and new "Focus on Genomics" boxes, iGenetics : A Molecular Approach reflects the increasing molecular emphasis in todays experimental study of genes while helping students develop problem-solving skills and an appreciation for classic experiments. Although molecular topics are presented first, instructors can assign the chapters in any sequence. Pedagogical features such as chapter-opening "Key Questions" and strategically placed "Keynotes" help students to efficiently master genetic concepts. The Genetics Place Companion Website contains interactive iActivities and narrated animations that help students visualize and understand processes and concepts that are illustrated in the text. Feature Modern chapter organization covers all major areas of genetics, balancing molecular and classical aspects to give students an integrated view of genetic principles. The texts inquiry-based approach engages students in the process of science. Step-by-step examples of problem solving throughout the book represent a wide range of topics and difficulty levels. Pedagogy: Key Questions, appear at the beginning of each chapter, focus student attention in advance on the major concepts within their reading. Keynotes, strategically placed throughout the chapter, summarize important ideas and allow students to check their progress. Summary Sections at the end of each chapter reinforce main ideas. Analytical Approaches to Solving Genetics Problems at the end of each chapter guides students step-by-step through the process of solving genetic problems. An extensive set of Questions and Problems at the end of each chapter, accompanied by selected solutions at the back of the book, allow students to apply their new knowledge through homework assignments or independent study. Numerous examples of human genetic diseases help students understand the growing importance of molecular medicine. The Genetics Place Website provides an online learning environment that includes activities with follow-up questions; narrated animations, and practice quizzes that can be graded and recorded in the instructors grade book. A syllabus manager and a grade book function are provided as instructor resources. New Feature Focus on Genomics boxes modernize the books coverage of Genetics by connecting chapter content to an interesting genomics application. Chapter-Opening Key Questions, appear at the beginning of each chapter, focus student attention in advance on the major concepts within their reading. Genomics and recombinant DNA chapters have been completely reoganized and updated by contributor Gregg Jongeward to ensure the most coverage of these cutting-edge topics. Additional, updated material on new molecular techniques (such as RNAi) has been added. 20% increase in total Questions and Problems at the end of each chapter, accompanied by selected solutions at the back of the book, allows students more opportunities to apply their new knowledge through homework assignments or independent study. The Updated Genetics Place Website features the new myeBook which provides online, fully searchable version of the iGenetics text and mysearchplus which provides access to EBSCO, the leading online journal library.
