Advanced Genetics

About this book

This text covers advanced level areas of genetics, including Mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, immunogenetics, human genetics, mutagenesis and evolutionary genetics. The concepts, principles and phenomenon of genetics are explained with the help of information in tables and figures. Each chapter is followed by references, questions and numerical problems (wherever required). A glossary of advanced terms is given at the end of the book. The book should be useful to postgraduate students, researchers and teachers in agricultural and conventional universities offering postgraduate courses in genetics, cytogenetics, biotechnology, biosciences, botany and zoology.
