Excerpt from Genetics: An Introduction to the Study of Heredity
The following pages had their origin in a course of lectures upon Heredity, given at Brown University during the winter of 1911 - 1912, which were amplified and repeated in part the following summer at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, before the biological summer school of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences.
An attempt has been made to summarize for the intelligent, but uninitiated, reader some of the more recent phases of the questions of heredity which are at present agitating the biological world. It is hoped that this summary will not only be of interest to the general reader, but that it will also be of service in college courses dealing with evolution and heredity.
The subject of heredity concerns every one, but many of those who wish to become better informed regarding it are either too busily engaged or lack the opportunity to study the matter out for themselves. The recent literature in this field is already very large, with every indication that much more is about to follow, which is a further discouragement to non technical readers.

Genetics: An Introduction to the Study of Heredity (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction and overview on the history, principles, and major figures of what is now called genetics. The study of genetics originated with Gregor Mendel, who observed patterns in inherited characteristics of pea plants in his garden. Mendel deduced that traits are determined by what would later be termed genes, which are passed on from parents to children, forming the basis of modern genetics. After Mendel, scientists like Weismann, Galton, Bateson, and Castle built upon his discovery to advance the knowledge of genetic inheritance in plants and animals, including humans. These scientists' work uncovered the mechanisms of mutations, dominant and recessive traits, and Mendelian inheritance, providing a more profound understanding of the variation and continuity of life. This book also touches on the interwoven relationship between biology, environment, and inheritance in the development and characteristics of all living organisms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330007495_0
