Hallmark features of this title
- A Concept Question in the Problems and Discussion Questions asks the student to review and comment on common aspects of the Key Concepts listed at the beginning of each chapter.
- How Do We Know? questions ask students to identify the experimental basis underlying important concepts and conclusions, that is, how we know what we know.
- Evolving Concept of the Gene is a short feature in appropriate chapters that highlights how scientists' understanding of what a gene is has changed over time.
- Exploring Genomics boxes help students apply genetics to modern techniques such as genomics, bioinformatics and proteomics.
- Now Solve This Problems throughout each chapter test student knowledge and include a hint and a brief answer is provided in the appendix.

New and updated features of this title
- Genetics, Ethics, and Society essays provide a synopsis of an ethical issue related to a current finding in genetics that impacts directly on society today. The Your Turn section directs students to resources to support deeper investigation and discussion of the essay's topic.
- Special Topics in Modern Genetics present 2 new mini-chapters that explore cutting-edge topics, including CRISPR-Cas and Genomic Editing and Advances in Neurogenetics: The Study of Huntington Disease. Questions help students review key ideas and facilitate group discussions.
- Reorganized and expanded coverage of gene regulation in eukaryotes reflects recent discoveries that reveal RNA in many forms play critical roles in the regulation of eukaryotic gene activity.
- 1 chapter on gene regulation in eukaryotes has been expanded to 3: Transcriptional Regulation in Eukaryotes (Ch 17), Posttranscriptional Regulation in Eukaryotes (Ch 18), and Epigenetics (Ch 19).
- Case studies at the end of each chapter have been updated with new topics that link the coverage of formal genetic knowledge to everyday societal issues and include ethical considerations.
