A Textbook Of Animal Genetics 2Nd Edition

By Dr. R. Kanakaraj

A Textbook of Animal Genetics (2nd Edition) is a comprehensive introductory resource designed to simplify and clarify the fundamental principles of genetics for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Developed from extensive teaching experience, the book presents genetics in a logical historical sequence, beginning with Mendelian genetics and progressing through cytogenetics, molecular genetics, population genetics, and applied genetics.

The content is organized into twelve parts comprising forty chapters, each supported by clear illustrations, worked examples, and explanatory diagrams. To reinforce learning and critical thinking, every chapter concludes with thought-provoking questions and unsolved problems that allow students to evaluate their understanding and apply genetic principles effectively.

A comprehensive glossary is included to assist students in mastering genetic terminology. The book has been written in alignment with the Indian Veterinary Council (IVC) syllabus, making it particularly suitable for veterinary science institutions and students. It also serves as a valuable reference for general science students seeking a structured and accessible introduction to animal genetics.
