Ben Pierce’s Genetics: A Conceptual Approach draws on his extensive teaching experience to make introductory genetics more accessible. By emphasizing the overarching ideas in genetics and the ways they relate to one another, he brings clarity to a traditionally challenging subject. The new 7th edition continues this approach, enhancing the book with expanded instructional tools and effective teaching features that have contributed to its longstanding success. It includes new types of questions, additional learning supports for students, and refreshed artwork.
