Introduction to Genetics

From Gregor Mendel’s pea plant experiments to modern genome editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9, genetics has transformed biology into a science of prediction, manipulation, and discovery. It connects every living thing on Earth through the shared language of DNA and RNA.

This book introduces students to the fundamental principles of genetics, including:

• The structure and function of DNA and chromosomes

• Mendelian inheritance and genetic variation

• Gene expression and mutation
