Genetics in Tasks. Solved tests and assignments

Genetics is a modern science that is very logical and analytical. Like any such science, understanding and making sense of the theoretical basics it is best done by reflecting on case studies and solving practical problems. It is on this principle that the current teaching aid is organized, which provides an opportunity to understand and learn the basics of classical and molecular genetics by solving practical cases and tasks. The workbook "Genetics in Problems - Solved Tests and Problems" is divided into 13 parts that cover the main areas of classical and modern genetics. Each of these parts begins with theoretical foundations of the learning content of the section, illustrated and clarified with tasks and solutions explained in detail (first part). Each section aims to clarify the basic concepts and concepts, as well as approaches to solve genetic cases related to them. The tasks that are included in the first part are grouped by topic and with examples from both classic model organisms (Drosophila, pea, farm species) and from human genetics, molecular and population genetics, which can be considered sequentially or in sections , which are currently being studied or are of interest to the reader. The second part of the collection includes ready-made tests for independent preparation, for which the correct answers are given and which readers can use to practice and consolidate knowledge. This part could also be used by teachers when preparing tests in different written test options.

"Genetics in tasks - a collection of tests and solutions" is a teaching aid unique to the Bulgarian market, which could be successfully used by a very wide audience: the students of all majors studying genetics at the Faculty of Biology of the SU, including and for pharmacy students (as a basis for the Biology course), for human and veterinary medicine students from other universities, and also for high school students with an extended interest in genetics, candidate students, teachers and lecturers, as well as in preparation for regional and national rounds of competitions and Olympiads on biology and health education.

In total, the collection contains over 700 solved tasks and tests from the most important areas of classical and molecular genetics, which makes it unique in the book market in Bulgaria. This is a very valuable resource that would be an excellent and useful addition to any teaching library.
