The Mutation Factor In Evolution

"The Mutation Factor In Evolution: With Particular Reference To Oenothera" explores the role of mutation in the evolutionary process. Written by Reginald Ruggles Gates, this work delves into the genetic mechanisms driving evolutionary change, focusing specifically on the plant genus Oenothera as a model for understanding mutation.

The book likely examines the history of evolutionary theory, principles of genetics, and the specific mutations observed in Oenothera, offering insights into the broader implications for evolutionary biology. It is valuable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of genetics and evolution.
