Introduction to Genetics Introduction to Genetics is the final submission of my undergraduate senior project, completed in April 2013, in which I utilized my education in biology to create a textbook about the fundamentals of genetics. The result is a comprehensible textbook that manifests an introduction to genetics, in its content as well as form and structure. This book is blind debossed with handset type and folded pages to convey the DNA and anatomy of chromosomes. The sole secondary material used is adhesive tape to resonate the role of proteins in the structure of chromosomes.
