Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the scientific consensus on the fundamental principles of evolution. The author, an acclaimed geneticist, reveals new insights into the role of mutations as a mechanism for evolutionary change. The book presents a groundbreaking theory that sheds light on the origin and behaviour of certain plant and animal species with an extra chromosome, drawing from extensive research conducted with the evening primrose plant, Oenothera. It explores the concept of mutations as spontaneous alterations in the genetic material, leading to new heritable traits. The author's findings on duplicate factor mutations, chromosome duplication, and the impact of these changes on heredity and evolution challenge traditional views. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of mutation phenomena in plants and animals, providing a foundation for future research and a deeper understanding of evolutionary processes. Its insights will resonate with biologists, geneticists, and anyone interested in the mechanisms that shape the diversity of life on Earth.
