The Mechanism Of Mendelian Heredity (1915) - Thomas Hunt Morgan - Bog

The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity is a scientific book written by Thomas Hunt Morgan and published in 1915. The book is a seminal work in the field of genetics and provides a comprehensive analysis of the principles of Mendelian inheritance. Morgan, who was a prominent geneticist and Nobel laureate, presents a detailed account of the laws of inheritance as discovered by Gregor Mendel and their implications for the study of genetics.The book is divided into three main sections. The first section provides an introduction to the principles of inheritance and the historical background of the study of genetics. The second section focuses on the experimental work conducted by Morgan and his colleagues in the study of Drosophila (fruit flies) and their genetics. This section includes detailed descriptions of the experiments conducted, the results obtained, and the conclusions drawn from these experiments.The third section of the book discusses the broader implications of the study of genetics, including the relationship between genetics and evolution, the role of genetics in the development of disease, and the potential applications of genetics in agriculture and medicine.Overall, The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity is a landmark work in the field of genetics and remains an important reference for geneticists and scientists interested in the study of inheritance and evolution. The book is written in a clear and concise style and is accessible to both experts and non-experts alike.Also Authored By C. B.
