Synopsis

Knowledge about hereditary phenomena has been important for long time. Civilization itself became possible when nomadic tribes learned to domesticate plants and animals. Long before biology existed as a scientific discipline, people selected grains with higher yields and greater vigor and animals with better fur or meat. They puzzled about the inheritance of desirable and undesirable traits in human population. Despite this, the actual basis of inheritance was obscure until discovery of Mendel's laws. With the wealth of genetic knowledge we now make generalization about DNA, genes, phenotypes and genotypes as though these concepts were self evident. A working knowledge of principles of genetics is essential for making informed decisions on many scientific, political and personal levels., About The Author:- Dr. GC Satpathy, is by now an established science writer in the country with authorship of some of the national best sellers, and several national and international awards and honours; including the prestigious Pt. Govind Ballav Pant Award and President's Medal for Meritorius Service. His seven volume "Encyclopaedia of AIDS" is a landmark reference work. His work "Biological Weapons and Terrorism" is being released shortly. After three decades of illustrious service in Central Police Organisation, Dr Satpathy has recently joined as Chief of Health Services in Pradeep Phosphates Limited in Orissa., Contents:- Message · Foreword · Preface · Introduction · Mendelian principles · Cell Division · Interaction of Genes · Linkage · Crossing Over · Sex Determination · Sex Linked Inheritance · Non-Chromosomal Inheritance · Chromosomal Aberrations · Polyploidy · Index.
