Top row  Left: The DNA double-helix  here imaged in a scanning tunneling micrograph  is central to all genetics research. Right: Experimentation has shown that some social behaviors  such as nest cleaning by honeybees  is under genetic control. Second row  Left: Inherited disorders such as albinism  manifested here in a bullfrog  have provided many insights about the genetic control of metabolism. Right: Gregor Mendels 19th-century work with pea plants elucidated the basic principles of inheritance. Third row  Left: Efforts to combat HIV  the virus that causes AIDS  depend on knowing how the virus expresses its genes inside the cells of the immune system. Right: The fruit fly is ideally suited for studies on the genetic control of embryonic development and organ formation. Fourth row  Left: The identification of mutations that cause unregulated cell division facilitates the diagnosis  treatment  and prevention of breast cancer. Right: HeLa cells  derived in 1951 from Henrietta Lacks  a woman who died of cervical cancer  thrive in the laboratory and are used in research worldwide. Bottom row: The replication of chromosomes (left) is a prerequsite for cell division (right).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67902155915317,"sku":"ByrdShop_047129800X","price":62.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780471298007.jpg?v=1793820406","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/principles-of-genetics-9780471298007","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
