> A really great basic textbook to Genetics that I used for my undergrad was Intro to Genetic Analysis by Alberts et al I think. Has a cute trio of doggos on the front cover!
That's by Griffiths et. al. It's a great book - I used the previous edition during my studies and still keep it on my shelf.
The book is An Introduction to Genetic Analysis. I have no complaints about it so far and the rental price is pretty cheap so I would definitely say that it's worth it.
These texts tend to become outdated pretty quick, unfortunately. I used Genetics: A Conceptual Approach by Benjamin Pierce in undergrad for most of my degree program. It is alright but a bit dry, and while it does a great job explaining some concepts it just as often does poorly. I also really quite enjoyed Introduction to Genetic Analysis by Griffiths, et al., which I used earlier in my studies. I felt it did a better job of breaking topics and ideas down more than Pierce and it was laid out in a manner where each progressive chapter would build upon topics from the previous chapter instead of skipping around. Genetics is an interesting field of study, and hopefully these texts will help you achieve a better understanding of the topics that interest you (and others!).
