As the title implies I am having difficultly with Genetics preparation for the MCAT. Has anyone come across a good book to explain things like punnett squares, hardy-weinberg, etc from an intuitive standpoint? Like "Genetics Made Easy" or something of that nature? Thanks in advance

See if you can check it out fromt he library. Most of the book is beyond the scope of the MCAT but there are a few chapters worth reading with problems worth doing. I especially loved the pedigree chapters.

I had a pretty good textbook of genetics called iGenetics. I thought it was very well explained. What I did is learn from a text and then looked up anything I didn't understand either here on online. It worked pretty well.
