Which Genetics Resources Are Best for Beginners?

AI Thread Summary
Studying genetics in college can be enhanced by selecting the right preparatory materials. The Cartoon Guide to Genetics, Schaum's Outline of Genetics, and Genetics for Dummies are among the options considered for a head start. Concerns arise regarding the depth and accessibility of these resources, with some opinions suggesting that Schaum's Outline may not be effective for foundational learning. However, it may still be beneficial for those with a basic understanding, as it could help reinforce existing knowledge. Engaging with a variety of resources can provide a well-rounded introduction to genetics before formal studies begin.
