- Summary
- "Genetics and Randomness furthers the understanding of the role randomness plays in critical biological processes. The book also navigates the complex nature of genetic uncertainty from different points of view and at various levels of biological organization. It explores areas ranging from basic quantum mechanics and molecular genetics to modern evolutionary genetics and the philosophy of mathematics."--BOOK JACKET.
