- • Three new Special Topics in Modern Genetics mini-chapters explore cutting-edge topics, including Emerging Roles of RNA, Genetically Modified Foods, and Gene Therapy.
- • Review Questions and Discussion Questions have been added to the end of each of the six Special Topic chapters to help reinforce key ideas and to facilitate class discussions. The questions are also assignable in MasteringGenetics.
- • Evolving Concept of the Gene sections are integrated in key chapters and describe how scientists’ understanding of the gene has changed over time, helping students better understand how the science of genetics has developed.
- • Genetics, Technology, and Society boxes discuss advances in genetics that have societal importance. Your Turn questions direct students to related information for further exploration.
- William S. Klug is a retired Professor of Biology at the College of New Jersey (formerly Trenton State College) in Ewing, New Jersey. He served as chair of the Biology Department for 17 years, a position to which he was first elected in 1974. He received his B.A. degree in Biology from Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and his Ph.D. from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Prior to coming to the College of New Jersey, he was on the faculty of Wabash College as an Assistant Professor. His research interests have involved ultrastructural and molecular genetic studies of oogenesis in Drosophila. He has taught the genetics course as well as the senior capstone seminar course in human and molecular genetics to undergraduate biology majors for each of the last 35 years. In 2002, he was the recipient of the initial teaching award given at the College of New Jersey granted to the faculty member who most challenges students to achieve high standards. He also received the 2004 Outstanding Professor Award from the Sigma Pi International, and in the same year, he was nominated as the Educator of the Year, an award given by the Research and Development Council of New Jersey.
