Description: "Molecular and Genetic Analysis of Human Traits is the first concise presentation of what is unique about human genetics. Designed to introduce human genetics to undergraduate and graduate students who are familiar with basic genetics, the text assumes knowledge of meiosis and Mendelian genetics as well as the basic principles of transmission of information from DNA to RNA to proteins. Professor Maroni's engaging presentation is both authoritative and student-oriented."--BOOK JACKET.
