This text presents a broad and fundamental introduction to the study of Cytogenetics. It explains the basic structural and functional organization of chromosomes with the historical development of the concepts of the gene, Sex linkage, Linkage, Crossing over, Chromosomal aberrations and Cytoplasmic inheritance. Specific plants and animals,. Including mammals, are used wherever appropriate as illustrations. Undergraduate students offering a course in Cytogenetics will find this book invaluable as a basic source. It also fills need of graduate students concerned with plants and animal breeding.
