GENETICS FOR A NEW GENERATION
|
|
Highlights
|
Internet-based educational resource on
genetics designed to expose university undergraduates and the general
population to the basic genetics concepts and principles; these are
presented in a simple and concise manner. The following topics are
covered: Basic concepts in genetics (e.g. cell structure, DNA, simple
