The book ‘Genetics, Cytogenetics’ is designed for the graduate courses in Botany, Zoology, Life Sciences, Biotechnology and Agriculture that have a paper in genetics and cytogenetics although the book is particularly relevant to students of Bangalore University. The book covers the different aspects of genetics and cytogenetics in 11 chapters, which cover the historical developments, chromosome organization and role in inheritance, phenomena of linkage, recombination, structural and numerical chromosomal aberrations, and extrachromosomal/cytoplasmic inheritance. The book has been written in simple language in a style I followed for teaching to my students. The concepts have been explained with the help of suitable diagrams and every effort has been made to maintain readability and facilitate easy comprehension. It is expected to serve as the basic reading resource for the students of genetics and would be helpful in various competitive examinations.
