I own the book Genetics by Robert J. Brooker. It is set up in the way most textbooks are, allowing easy use of the index or glossary to find the information you are looking for. While this is nice it doesn't go very deep into any topic and seems to lightly skim the surface. I feel that even with using the glossary to help find information, the internet is an easier way to find more detailed information faster. On top of this, the field of genetics is constantly changing so this book from 1999 is very far outdated and many ideas in it are outdated. A strongly sourced webpage or direct contact with a scientist is the best way to get accurate and detailed answers to these questions.
