The subject is broken down into 140 to 150 key concepts or topics, each of which is dealt with in one doublepaged spread. These range from basic introductory principles to applied topics at the cutting edge of research. A control strip along the top of the page shows the student which pages need to have been read beforehand and which topics may be followed afterward. In addition, at the front of the book are a selection of 'routes,' which the student or teacher may choose in order to study a particular topic. Because courses have become more 'modular' and many students arrive at college with little or no biology background, this approach enables teachers and students to structure a course of study to best suit their disparate exposure to biology.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn exciting new concept in textbook design, allowing unparalleled flexibility on the part of the student and the teacher\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the full range of modern molecular biology, from basic principles to the latest applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttractive, clear and simple presentation with copious two-colour illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  Preface.  \u003cp\u003eAbout the \u003ci\u003eRoute Maps\u003c\/i\u003e format.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Concept Of Genes Is Developed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGenes Are Located To Chromosomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGenes Are Composed Of DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Chemical Building Blocks Of Nucelic Acids.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormation Of The DNA Double Helix.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePackaging Of DNA Within Cells.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChromatin Structure And The Functional Activity Of Genes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTypes And Functions Of DNA-Protein Interactions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrganization Of Genomes Into Multiple Chromosomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDistribution Of Nucleic Acids Within Eukaryotic Cells.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTypes Of RNA Molecules.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Anatomy Of Eukaryotic Chromosomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Organisation Of Genes Within Chromosomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Molecular Anatomy Of Eukaryotic Genes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChromosome Aberrations And Human Disease.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTypes Of Mutations And Their Effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForms Of Chemically Altered DNA;
