About the Book

The evolution of a classic
The new 12th edition of Introduction to Genetic Analysis takes this cornerstone textbook to the next level. The hallmark focuses on genetic analysis, quantitative problem solving, and experimentation continue in this new edition while incorporating robust updates to the science.Introduction to Genetic Analysis is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning platform. Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for biology students. It houses all of our renowned assessments, multimedia assets, e-books, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform.
