Genetics: Analysis and Principles with Connect Access Card

In his text Genetics: Analysis and Principles, Professor Robert J. Brooker reinforces that connection by emphasizing the relevance and significance of the scientific method used by geneticists. Thirty-six text-integrated experiments reveal the "how" and "why" behind the most important research that led to our current knowledge of the science. The overarching theme of the book, the important link between genes and traits, is mirrored in the cover image.

Rob Brooker (Ph.D., Yale University) received his B.A. in biology at Wittenberg University, Springfield, Ohio, in 1978. At Harvard, he studied lactose permease, the product of the lacY gene of the lac operon. He continues working on transporters at the University of Minnesota, where he is a Professor in the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development and has an active research laboratory. At the University of Minnesota, Dr. Brooker teaches undergraduate courses in biology, genetics, and cell biology. In addition to many other publications, he has written two undergraduate genetics texts published by McGraw-Hill: Genetics: Analysis & Principles, 4th edition, copyright 2012, and Concepts of Genetics, copyright 2012.
