Sinopsis
The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity is a seminal work in the field of genetics, written by Thomas Hunt Morgan and first published in 1915. The book outlines the principles of Mendelian genetics, which were first discovered by Gregor Mendel in the 19th century, and presents Morgan's own groundbreaking research on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.Morgan's research on Drosophila, which he began in the early 1900s, revealed that genes are located on chromosomes and are responsible for the inheritance of specific traits. He also discovered the phenomenon of sex-linked inheritance, in which certain traits are linked to the sex chromosomes.The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides an overview of the principles of Mendelian inheritance, including the laws of segregation and independent assortment. The second section focuses on Morgan's research on Drosophila, including his experiments on sex-linked inheritance and the mapping of genes on chromosomes. The third section discusses the implications of Morgan's research for the broader field of genetics, including the relationship between genes and evolution.The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity is a landmark work in the history of genetics, and it remains relevant today as a foundational text for students and researchers in the field. Morgan's research on Drosophila paved the way for further discoveries in genetics, and his work continues to influence our understanding of the genetic basis of inheritance and evolution.Also Authored By C.

Reseña del editor
From ancient times heredity has been looked upon as one of the central problems of biological philosophy. It is true that this interest was largely speculative rather than empirical. But since Mendel sdiscovery of the fundamental law of heredity in 1865, or rather since its re-discovery in 1900, a curious situation has begun to develop. The students of heredity calling themselves geneticists have begun to draw away from the traditional fields of zoology and botany, and have concentrated their attention on the study of Mendel sprinciples and their later developments. The results of these investigators appear largely in special journals. Their terminology is often regarded by other zoologists as something barbarous, outside the ordinary routine of their profession. The tendency is to regard genetics as a subject for specialists instead of an all-important theme of zoology and botany. No doubt this is but a passing phase; for biologists can little afford to hand over to a special group of investigators a part of their field that is and always will be of vital import.
