500 ## - GENERAL NOTE
General note Provides students with a strong foundation upon which to build their conceptual understanding of the field of genetics.<br/>Utilizing a conceptual framework, this text offers a student-friendly writing style and uses chapter opening stories to capture student interest. Also included are Concepts, Concepts Checks, Connecting Concepts, Chapter Summaries and Learning Outcomes for each chapter.<br/>The powerful revised art and media program is more modern and understandable for students, and includes animations (with assessment questions) that are based on figures in the text and replicated in Achieve.<br/>Meaningful Assessment comprise Connecting Questions that help students synthesize concepts from different chapters to understand the big picture. These new questions ensure that students get a bigger picture of the science of genetics and, much like real geneticists, learn to use information from different disciplines in genetics in problem-solving. Concept Mapping Questions are also simultaneously available in the book and Achieve and ask students to build a visual representation of a topic.<br/>Achieve is Macmillan Learning’s complete online learning system. It houses instructor resources to support teaching and a range of interactive resources and the full eBook to help students succeed in their course. Access to Achieve for instructors is available on this page. Student access to Achieve could be through their institution if the institution has signed a license or as a separate student purchase. The instructor must set up a course for students to benefit from this product.
500 ## - GENERAL NOTE
General note Connecting Problems allow students to connect concepts across chapters. These questions ask students to integrate what they have learned over several chapters, and to apply what they learned to problem solving.<br/>Concept Mapping Exercises help students conceptually map out topics within a chapter. The exercises ask students to map out concepts discussed in the chapter, including key terms and describing how they are connected. Creating connections between concepts and ideas is critically important for effective learning. These new concept mapping exercises are designed to help students build understanding of the relationships among important concepts and terms by creating a visual map that depicts these relationships. These problems can be assigned as homework, or students can work on them in groups, allowing them to discuss how to organize the concepts in a map.<br/>End-of-chapter Learning Objectives help frame the concepts covered in each section. A set of Learning Objectives, one for each A-head, followed by key concepts for that A-head, helps students identify the main learning goals for each chapter.<br/>It continues to stay on the cutting edge of genetics discoveries with the inclusion of more content on CRISPR-Cas9, updated biotechnology and genomics and proteomics techniques (and pared-back coverage of outdated techniques, the revised organization of the epigenetics chapter, a revised chapter on evolution, and updated medical examples.<br/>Expand

520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc A conceptual approach to success in genetics.<br/>With Genetics: A Conceptual Approach, Ben Pierce brings a master teacher’s experiences to the introductory genetics textbook, clarifying this complex subject by focusing on the big picture of genetics concepts and how those concepts connect to one another.<br/><br/>The seventh edition continues this mission by expanding upon the powerful pedagogy and tools that have made this title so successful. New question types, more learning guidelines for students, and an updated art program round out a powerful text, and improvements to the online resources in Achieve give students the conceptual and problem solving understanding they need for success.
