The Applied Genetics of Humans, Animals, Plants and Fungi 2nd edition by Bernard C. Lamb examines how genetic principles are applied to humans, animals, plants, fungi, agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology. The book builds from core genetic concepts to practical uses of inheritance, variation, selection, recombination, breeding, and genetic engineering across different organisms.
The 2nd edition covers qualitative and quantitative inheritance, heritability, genotype and phenotype, population genetics, allele frequencies, genetic drift, gene flow, selection, nonrandom mating, mutation, recombination, genetic mapping, genomics, chromosome abnormalities, and changes in chromosome number. It also examines human and medical genetics, plant and animal breeding, genetic engineering, genetic conservation, insect pest control, reproductive physiology, animal cloning, and applied fungal genetics.
This book is particularly relevant for university students studying genetics, applied genetics, biotechnology, plant breeding, animal genetics, and related biological sciences. Its broad organism based approach allows students to compare how common genetic principles are used in medical genetics, crop improvement, livestock breeding, conservation, industrial fungi, and other practical applications.
Genetics students, biotechnology students, plant and animal science students, and researchers can use this edition to connect theoretical genetics with breeding, genomic analysis, genetic engineering, and applied biological problems. The 2007 2nd edition is available as a searchable PDF with instant access after purchase for coursework, research preparation, examination study, and genetics reference.
