Sinopsis

The Physical Basis of Heredity is a book written by Thomas Hunt Morgan and published in 1919. Morgan was a pioneering geneticist who conducted experiments on fruit flies to understand the mechanisms of inheritance. In this book, he outlines his research on the transmission of genetic traits and the role of chromosomes in heredity. The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides an overview of the history of genetics and the theories that were prevalent at the time. The second section delves into the experiments Morgan conducted on fruit flies and how he discovered the role of chromosomes in inheritance. The third section explores the implications of Morgan?s findings for the field of genetics and biology as a whole. Morgan?s work was groundbreaking and helped establish genetics as a scientific discipline. The Physical Basis of Heredity is a seminal work in the field and remains an important reference for geneticists and biologists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
