Peter Snustad; Michael J. Snustad, M. Simmons, J. Principles of Genetics, 7th Edition by D. Peter Snustad ,???. The science of genetics has been evolving rapidly. Peter Snustad ,Michael J. Simmons Pages : To focus on the scientific process by showing how scientific concepts develop from observation and experimentation. Our book provides numerous examples to show how genetic principles have emerged from the work of different scientists. We emphasize that science is an ongoing process of observation, experimentation, and discovery.
To focus on human genetics by incorporating human examples and showing the relevance of genetics to societal issues. Experience has shown us that students are keenly interested in the genetics of their own species.
Because of this interest, they find it easier to comprehend complex concepts when these concepts are illustrated with human examples. Consequently, we have used human examples to illustrate genetic principles wherever possible.
We have also included discussions of the Human Genome Project, human gene mapping, genetic disorders, gene therapy, and genetic counseling throughout the text. Issues such as genetic screening, DNA profiling, genetic engineering, cloning, stem cell research, and gene therapy have sparked vigorous debates about the social, legal, and ethical ramifications of genetics.
We believe that it is important to involve students in discussions about these issues, and we hope that this textbook will provide students with the background to engage in such discussions thoughtfully.
To focus on developing critical thinking skills by emphasizing the analysis of experimental data and problems. Genetics has always been a bit different from other disciplines in biology because of its heavy emphasis on problem solving. In this text, we have fleshed out the analytical nature of genetics in many ways—in the development of principles in classical genetics, in the discussion of experiments in molecular genetics, and in the presentation of calculations in population genetics.
Throughout the book we have emphasized the integration of observational and experimental evidence with logical analysis in the development of key concepts. Each chapter has two sets of worked-out problems—the Basic Exercises section, which contains simple problems that illustrate basic genetic analysis, and the Testing Your Knowledge section, which contains more complex problems that integrate different concepts and techniques.
A set of Questions and Problems follows the worked-out problems so that students can enhance their understanding of the concepts in the chapter and develop their analytical skills. Another section, Genomics on the Web, poses issues that can be investigated by going to the National Center for Biotechnology Information web site. Transposable genetic elements -- Ch.
