About the Book
Fundamentals of Genetics is a detailed and systematically organized textbook that presents the complete spectrum of classical and modern genetics. The book is divided into six well-structured parts, guiding students from the basic principles of heredity to advanced topics in genetic engineering.
The initial sections focus on transmission genetics, covering Mendel’s experiments, laws of inheritance, and mathematical applications in breeding experiments. It also includes practice problems to strengthen numerical and conceptual understanding. The extension of Mendelian genetics explores gene interactions, linkage, recombination, sex determination, cytoplasmic inheritance, and environmental influences on gene expression.
Human genetics is discussed with emphasis on hereditary traits, population genetics, and developments related to the Human Genome Project. Microbial genetics explains genetic principles in viruses, bacteria, and fungi, including mutation mapping. The book further covers the physical and chemical basis of heredity, detailing cell division, DNA and RNA structure, and gene organization. The final section introduces genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, GMOs, and their practical applications.
This book serves as a comprehensive resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of life sciences, biotechnology, agriculture, and related disciplines, and is also useful for competitive examination preparation.
