 A revised and updated fifth edition containing an additional chapter on the impact genetics has on our daily lives. The book reviews the basic concepts of cell and molecular biology with increased coverage of DNA replication and protein synthesis. At the end of ecery chapter a new solved problem that integrates seceral genetics principles appears. This will show students how genetic principles work together to solve problmes an will give students practice reapplying principles learned earlier. Additional to this text one can also aquire a study guide/solutions manual, overhead transparencies and printed and computerized test banks for the IBM or MAC.
