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.

Achieve is Macmillan Learning’s complete online learning system. It houses instructor resources to support teaching and a range of interactive resources and the full ebook to help students succeed in their course. Access to Achieve for instructors is available on this page. Student access to Achieve could be through their institution if the institution has signed a licence or as a separate student purchase. The instructor must set up a course for students to benefit from this product.

NEW and UPDATED opening stories ensure students understand genetic concepts through recent and relevant developments and discoveries.
UPDATED chapters and language throughout, taking into account the most recent research, technology, and developments in the field all while using more inclusive language and diverse examples.
