Genetics and Development

Genetics and Development has been presented within the framework of scientific discovery. Morphogenesis in Animals has made tremendous and incredible strides in recent years. Consequently, existing concepts of the developmental biology have expanded. There has been a revolution indeed in this direction. The text integrates the descriptive, experimental and biochemical approaches with a conceptual framework for the analysis of development. All important points are illustrated diagrammatically. The title is not intended to be comprehensive nor could it be at length, but it concentrates as putting across the basic principles of the subject as briefly and lucidly as possible. It does this with the aid of carefully selected examples, some recent and other classic of the field and with numerous illustrations. The aim is to enthuse the reader with this active and exciting area of research and to lay a solid foundation on which further study of its various facets may be based. The book will prove a valuable asset for the graduate and postgraduate students of biology and also for research scholars and teachers.This book is detailed study of the subject carried out through 10 main divisions of the subject. Prominent topics like Genetic Control of Development, Metamorphosis and Gene Action, Gene in Developmental Adaptations, Gene Activity during Ooziness and many others have been beautifully explained through numerous diagrams which has made the subject more understandable and interesting.
