Sanders has been a faculty member in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of California, Davis, since In that time, he has taught more than genetics courses to nearly 35, undergraduate students.
Although he specializes in teaching the genetics course for which this book is written, his genetics teaching experience also includes a genetics laboratory course, an advanced human genetics course for biology majors, and a human heredity course for nonscience majors, as well as introductory biology and courses in population genetics and evolution. He has also served as an advisor to undergraduate students and in undergraduate education administration, and he has directed several undergraduate education programs.
Sanders received his B. John L. He received a B. His Ph. From to , his laboratory at UC Davis investigated developmental genetics of plants, focusing on how leaves are patterned. From to , he was a Federation Fellow at Monash University, where his laboratory is studying land plant evolution using a developmental genetics approach.
He was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in At UC Davis he taught genetics, from Mendel to cancer, to undergraduate students, and he continues to teach genetics courses at Monash University.

Preface Preface is available for download in PDF format. It lets students read, highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place.
Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media engage students and give them access to the help they need, when they need it. The mobile app lets students learn on the go, online or offline.
Creating a course allows you to schedule readings, view reading analytics, and share your own notes with students so they see the connection between their eText and what they learn in class, motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning. NEW - Analytics Dashboard. Use the dashboard to gain insight into how students are working in their eText to plan more effective instruction in and out of class.
NEW - Content updates include cancer, genomics, epigenetics, nonsense mediated decay, and 3rd generation sequencing to reflect changing areas of research in relevant sections.
NEW - Visual izing Genetics v ideos strengthen a students ability to critically interpret figures and apply information. This feature walks students through identifying what is shown in a figure and applying the information, providing context for where and where it will be used in the future. The Visualizing Genetics feature has four discrete elements: Evaluate - Identify the type of image, describe what the figure is illustrating or presenting, and determine the conventions used and why i.
Assess - Identify and describe the information in the image. Interpret - Determine the meaning of the image to understand its message and the information being conveyed.
Connect - Link the information in the image with information in the text and to other figures. NEW - Practice Problems are now part of the shared library of genetics Practice Problems in Mastering Genetics, providing tutorials that build in complexity and cover gaps in content. NEW - Break It Down practice problems are included as two end-of-chapter problems for each chapter to guide students in getting started with formulating an approach to solving a problem.
Questions adapt to each students performance and offer personalized, targeted feedback to help them master key concepts. Hallmark features of Genetic Analysis Develop problem-solving skills Preparing for Problem Solving Is a list of items designed to draw students attention back to the major ideas in the chapter and to the practical skills modeled there, before students work on the end-of-chapter problems.
Located between the Chapter Summary and the end-of-chapter problems, the list identifies the specific knowledge and skills required to answer chapter problems. Genetic Analysis worked examples give students a consistent, repeatable method to help them learn and practice problem solving with unparalleled support for problem-solving instruction. Each Genetic Analysis example guides students with a unique, consistent three-step approach that trains them to Evaluate, Deduce , and then Solve problems.
Every Genetic Analysis example is presented in a clear, easy-to-follow, two-column format that helps students see the Solution Strategy in one column and its corresponding execution in the Solution Step. Break It Down prompts in Genetic Analysis worked examples help students get started with formulating an approach to solving a problem.
Break It Down models the concept of breaking down problem solving by deciphering the essential information stated in the problem. New to this edition are Collaboration and Discussion problems. The book offers a broad range of question types and levels of difficulty. Answers to selected even-numbered problems appear in the Appendix.

I have taught genetics for over 35 years, while at the same time maintaining a molecular genetics research program involving undergraduates.
Students learn genetics best if they are given a balanced approach that integrates their understanding of the abstract nature of genes from the transmission genetics part with the molecular nature of genes from the molecular genetics part.
My goal in this edition, as in previous editions, is to provide students with a clear and logical presentation of the material, in combination with an experimental theme that makes clear how we know what we know.
The many examples of experiments used to answer questions and test hypotheses are models that show students how they might themselves develop questions and hypotheses, and design experiments. It is my hope that you will find my approach helpful to you in teaching this course successfully, as have so many colleagues who have used past editions. Modern Coverage. The field of genetics has grown rapidly in recent years. In creating this text I have worked with experts in the field to ensure that we present these exciting developments with the highest degree of accuracy.
The book covers all major areas of genetics, balancing classical and molecular aspects to give students an integrated view of genetic principles. The classical genetics material tends to be abstract and more intuitive, while the molecular genetics material is more factual and conceptual. Teaching genetics, therefore, requires teaching these two styles, as well as conveying the necessary information.
