Molecular Biology of the Cell 3E - The Problems Book

A proven teaching aid for the Third Edition

The Problems Book is designed to help students appreciate the ways in which experiments and simple calculations lead to an understanding of how cells work. Each chapter is subdivided in the same way as Molecular Biology of the Cell and provides a rehearsal of key terms, tests for understanding basic concepts, and research-based problems. Chapters 6 through 19, from "Basic Genetic Mechanisms" to "Cell Junctions, Cell Adhesion, and the Extracellular Matrix" are covered in this way.
-- Completely reorganized to match the Third Edition of Molecular Biology of the Cell.
-- Contains 50 new problems, including an entirely new chapter on genetic engineering methods.
-- Gives detailed answers for half of the problems to help students learn how to analyze experimental observations and draw conclusions from them.
-- Comes with a special booklet, given to teachers on request, that provides answers to the other problems.
-- Provides unanswered problems that are useful for homework assignments and as exam questions.
