Each section contains a set of key topics with headings that precede the main text and act as triggers for recollection. Topics covered in this volume include DNA structure, genetic code, DNA replication, chromosomes, gametogenesis, sex determination, natural selection, gene cloning, inherited diseases, and gene therapy." ; Contents: Sect.
