"Integrating classical knowledge of chromosome organization with recent molecular and functional findings, this book presents an up-to-date view of chromosome organization and function for advanced undergraduate students studying genetics. The organization and behaviour of chromosomes are central to genetics and the equal segregation of genes and chromosomes into daughter cells at cell division is vital. This text aims to provide a clear and straightforward explanation of these complex processes.

This book will be a valuable resource for plant, animal and human geneticists and cell biologists."--BOOK JACKET.
