The Seventh Edition Digital Update continues its mission by expanding upon the pedagogy, tools, and online resources that have made this title so successful.

Features
Genetics: A Conceptual Approach, Seventh Edition Digital Update provides students with a strong foundation upon which to build their conceptual understanding of the field of genetics.
Genetics: A Conceptual Approach is supported in Macmillan Learning’s Achieve platform. Achieve is more than just an online homework system—it’s a full online learning system. Studies show that a more structured course that includes smaller and more frequent assignments benefits students who are less prepared for the course without hindering well prepared students. Achieve supports that structure by providing content for all aspects of your course including pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class homework and assessment.
- The text and media feature a consistent conceptual framework. A student-friendly writing style and chapter opening stories capture student interest. Concept Checks, Connecting Concepts, and Learning Outcomes provide guideposts as students read. Formative assessments and conceptual multimedia assets in Achieve reinforce student learning.
- LearningCurve Adaptive Quizzes get students prepared for class.
- Tutorial-style questions walk students step by step through a problem.
- Problem Solving Videos demonstrate how to solve problems that mirror the end-of-chapter problem sets.
- Concept Mapping Questions available in the book and in Achieve ask students to build a visual representation of a topic.
