Concepts of Genetics     Klug, W.S., & Cummings, R. M.,        call # 575.1 K66

This book covers all the basic concepts in this course and is also the text for 2nd and 3rd year genetics courses. There are 5 copies of the 4th edition available in the reserve book room. However, if you intend to take any further genetics courses you are strongly encouraged to buy a copy of the 5th editions which is available from the bookshop for HK$255, a bargain for a well illustrated and comprehensive and up-to-date treatise on genetics.
