Fundamentals of Cytogenetics and Genetics by Mahabal Ram Pdf

This comprehensive and well-written text provides thorough understanding of the principles and applications of cytogenetics and genetics in an easy-to-understand style. The text is divided into Four parts. Part I on Principles of Cytogenetics deals with evolution and structure of cell, cell division and change, and structure of genetic material. Part II on Principles of Genetics provides detailed discussions on transmission, distribution and arrangement of genetic material, and evolution of species. Part III which is on Molecular Genetics discusses functions of genetic material including biotechnology and genetic engineering, and the last Part IV on Quantitative Genetics deliberates on the course of genetic material in populations. A historical approach to the subject has also been presented to show the continuity and progress. KEY FEATURES: Incorporates latest and up-to-date information on the subjects covered. Provides review questions at the end of each chapter to test the understanding of the concepts discussed. Gives ample references to explore further. Includes a glossary of important terms.

Introduction to Genetics and Cytogenetics by Herbert Parkes Riley Pdf

In this book I have endeavored to state and to explain the basic principles of biological inheritance and to show the importance of those principles to man, to the improvement of plants and animals, and to organic evolution. I have attempted to present this material in a simple fashion so that any reader can grasp the fundamentals of heredity in spite of limited biological training. However, I have also included some of the data that support these principles so that the student who wishes can acquire an adequate background for further studies in heredity, and I have added a fairly extensive bibliography so that the more serious student will have a diversified list of some of the items of the research literature should he wish more information on a subject than a book of this size can offer. Throughout this book I have stressed general principles rather than practical applications and have drawn my illustrations from both the Plant and the Animal Kingdoms. For the reader who is interested in human biology, references to inherited traits are numerous, and Chapters 3 and 19 should be of especial importance. The emphasis on principles and the variety of the illustrations should make this book of value to students of agriculture, psychology, and sociology. It should serve also as a foundation for advanced work in genetics and cytogenetics...

The Foundations of Genetics by F. A. E. Crew Pdf

The Foundations of Genetics describes the historical development of genetics with emphasis on the contributions to advancing genetical knowledge and the various applications of genetics. The book reviews the work of Gregor Mendel, his Law of Segregation, and of Ernst Haeckel who suggested that the nucleus is that part of the cell that is responsible for heredity. The text also describes the studies of W. Johannsen on "pure lines," and his introduction of the terms gene, genotype, and phenotype. The book explains the theory of the gene and the notion that hereditary particles are borne by the chromosomes (Sutton-Boveri hypothesis). Of the constituent parts of the nucleus only the chromatin material divides at mitosis and segregates during maturation. Following studies confirm that the chromatin material, present in the form of chromosomes with a constant and characteristic number and appearance for each species, is indeed the hereditary material. The book describes how Muller in 1927, showed that high precision energy radiation is the external cause to mutation in the gene itself if one allele can mutate without affecting its partner. The superstructure of genetics built upon the foundations of Mendelism has many applications including cytogenetics, polyploidy, human genetics, eugenics, plant breeding, radiation genetics, and the evolution theory. The book can be useful to academicians and investigators in the fields of genetics such as biochemical, biometrical, microbial, and pharmacogenetics. Students in agriculture, anthropology, botany, medicine, sociology, veterinary medicine, and zoology should add this text to their list of primary reading materials.

Chromosome Biology is a synthesis of modern viewpoints on chromosome structure, function, and behavior. The coverage is wide-ranging, from bacterial protosomes to wheat and human chromosomes, from centromeres to telomeres, from translocations to transformations. Chromosome Biology investigates the fascinating behavior of chromosomes at mitosis and meiosis, and the structural and numerical chromosomal changes caused by genome manipulation and genetic engineering. Chromosome Biology is suitable for use by under-graduate and post-graduate students of plant and animal sciences, genetics, molecular biology, plant breeding, and related fields. Students, teachers and researchers alike will benefit from this comprehensive textbook.
