Inhaltsangabe
Explore the beginnings of genetic science and how heredity works across plants and humans. This classic work explains experiments, surprises, and the evolving ideas that shaped Mendelian biology.
This edition presents Bateson’s early investigations into how hybrid plants pass on traits, with careful observations on how hybrids can differ from parent types. It covers the methods researchers used to study hybridization, the surprising variety seen in offspring, and the challenges of forming broad rules from limited cases. You’ll also find discussion of how similar questions appear in humans, including what eye color can reveal about dominant and recessive inheritance. The author reflects on the limits of current theories and the careful, year‑by‑year work needed to build a reliable picture of heredity.
- How crosses between plant forms produce fresh combinations of traits
- What it means for offspring to be intermediate, nearer to one parent, or distinctly like the other
- Observations on fertility, seed production, and the role of pollen and egg cells
- Early ideas about Mendelian inheritance and its application to humans
Ideal for readers of the history of genetics and plant or animal breeders, this edition offers a window into the experimental spirit that underpins modern heredity study. It is a solid introduction to the questions and methods that sparked later, more definitive work in the field.

Mendel's Principles 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 delves into the fascinating world of heredity, exploring the groundbreaking discoveries made by Gregor Mendel in the 19th century. Long dismissed, Mendel's meticulous research on pea plants revealed fundamental principles of inheritance that laid the groundwork for modern genetics. The author explores the history of the field, tracing the path from earlier, less successful attempts to understand how traits are passed down through generations, to the rediscovery of Mendel's work in the early 20th century. The book examines the core concepts of Mendel's findings, including the idea of "unit characters" and the process of "segregation," which describes how traits separate and recombine during the formation of offspring. The author also delves into the concept of "dominance," where one trait masks another in a hybrid, and discusses the significance of these principles for understanding how variation arises and is transmitted. This book offers a clear and engaging explanation of Mendel's work, placing his discoveries within the broader context of evolutionary theory and providing valuable insights into the complex mechanisms that govern inheritance. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, the fundamental principles of biology, and the fascinating process by which life passes on its characteristics from generation to generation.
