An understanding of genetics, and particularly molecular genetics, is central to modern life sciences. Instant Notes in Genetics will help you through any introductory course in genetics whether part of a biological science or medical degree program. Using the successful "Instant Notes" approach, this book provides a logical structure to learning about both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetics by covering all the important topics in a uniform, systematic format.
