Spark curiosity in cell biology and genetics with interactive multimedia technology. This set of 17 interactive animations on CD-ROM provide a colorful, compelling way to delve into-and understand-often-challenging subject matter. In addition to correlating with WCB/McGraw-Hill's general biology texts, "Explorations in Cell Biology and Genetics CD-ROM" is an ideal supplement to key microbiology and genetics titles. Interactive animations explain vital cellular structures and processes in a dramatic new way. Engage in a thought-provoking investigation of relevant subjects like "Mitosis" (Exploration 5), and even topical issues like "DNA Fingerprinting" (Exploration 14). Your students will develop a better understanding of the subject matter in the process.
