Part 1. Introduction. What is a human genome? --
Cells --
Meiosis, development, and aging --
--
Part 2. Transmission genetics. Single-gene inheritance --
Beyond Mendel's laws --
Matters of sex --
Multifactorial traits --
Genetics of behavior --
--
Part 3. DNA and chromosomes. DNA structure and replication --

Human genetics is about variation more than about illnesses, and increasingly about the common rather than about the rare. Once an obscure science or an occasional explanation for an odd collection of symptoms, human genetics is now part of everyday conversation. This book shows students how and why that is true.
