Summary:

The great power of modern genetics and its position of prominence in biological research have grown from a blend of classical and molecular techniques. Each analytical approach has its unique strengths. Classical genetics is unparalleled in its ability to explore uncharted biological terrain; molecular genetics is equally unparalleled in its ability to unrared cellular mechanisms. It would be unthinkable to teach one without the other. By giving both due prominence in this book, we have attempted to present a balanced view of genetics as practiced today. This edition, the third, has been revis
