The definitive genetics laboratory manual since 1952, Genetics Laboratory Investigations emphasizes classical transmission genetics while also including recent advances related to molecular and human genetics.
Investigations accommodate courses taught in a variety of academic settings and include cost-effective options for exploring molecular genetics.
This text is accompanied by a thoroughly updated Instructor’s Manual that provides suggested answers to questions in each investigation, helpful hints for setting up experiments, suggestions for further investigations, and updated lab supply vendor information.
New 4-color photos and figures have been added throughout the lab manual. Examples include new photos and illustrations of maize (Investigation 1), Allium mitosis (Investigation 4), linkage and crossing over (Investigation 11), E. coli (Investigation 17), and more.
New problems and examples have been added to many investigations, covering topics such as Mapping the Human Genome (Investigation 15) and Population Genetics (Investigation 23).
Updated content has been added throughout. Highlights include a new discussion on the human Y chromosome and linkage (Investigation 8), and a new section on imprinting and epigenetic phenomena in humans (Investigation 25).
Updated instructor’s manual is available for downloading from the Pearson Instructor Resource Center.
Pearson Custom Library allows instructors to select Investigations for inclusion in a custom lab manual that exactly matches course goals.
The definitive genetics lab manual for over 60 years, this user-friendly volume stresses classical genetics, but includes some of the recent advances related to molecular and human genetics as well. In response to feedback from genetics instructors, the Fourteenth Edition provides new photos, new problems and examples, updated content, and updated teaching tips in the accompanying Instructor’s Manual.
