Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heredity of Acquired Characters in Plants The object of this book is to prove that Evolution - so far as Plants are concerned - depends upon the Inheritance of Acquired Characters. This was Darwin's contention. Dr Weismann and his followers assert that no such characters can ever be hereditary unless the influence of the environment can reach and affect the reproductive organs, or his hypothetical substance "germ-plasm." As all the characters of the vegetative system, or the soma of plants, which are regarded as specific, are acquired long before any reproductive organs exist at all, and therefore before any vegetative cell has begun to assume a reproductive character, Dr Weismann's proviso is inappplicable to plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1907, this work by noted botanist George Henslow explores the controversial topic of whether and how acquired traits are passed down from one generation of plants to the next. Drawing on extensive experimentation and observation, Henslow argues that acquired characteristics do not play a significant role in heredity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments which in previous years were made with ornamental plants have already afforded evidence that the hybrids, as a rule, are not exactly intermediate between the parental species. With some of the more striking characters, those, for instance, which relate to the form and size of the leaves, the pubescence of the several parts, etc., the intermediate, indeed, is nearly always to be seen; in other cases, however, one of the two parental characters is so preponderant that it is difficult, or quite impossible, to detect the other in the hybrid. from 4. The Forms of the Hybrid One of the most influential and important scientific works ever written, the 1865 paper Experiments in Plant Hybridisation was all but ignored in its day, and its author, Austrian priest and scientist GREGOR JOHANN MENDEL (18221884), died before seeing the dramatic long-term impact of his work, which was rediscovered at the turn of the 20th century and is now considered foundational to modern genetics. A simple, eloquent description of his 18561863 study of the inheritance of traits in pea plantsMendel analyzed 29,000 of themthis is essential reading for biology students and readers of science history. Cosimo presents this compact edition from the 1909 translation by British geneticist WILLIAM BATESON (18611926).
Download or read book Making Sense of Genes written by Kostas Kampourakis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are genes? What do genes do? These seemingly simple questions are in fact challenging to answer accurately. As a result, there are widespread misunderstandings and over-simplistic answers, which lead to common conceptions widely portrayed in the media, such as the existence of a gene 'for' a particular characteristic or disease. In reality, the DNA we inherit interacts continuously with the environment and functions differently as we age. What our parents hand down to us is just the beginning of our life story. This comprehensive book analyses and explains the gene concept, combining philosophical, historical, psychological and educational perspectives with current research in genetics and genomics. It summarises what we currently know and do not know about genes and the potential impact of genetics on all our lives. Making Sense of Genes is an accessible but rigorous introduction to contemporary genetics concepts for non-experts, undergraduate students, teachers and healthcare professionals.

Book excerpt: This book examines the toxicological and health implications of environmental epigenetics and provides knowledge through an interdisciplinary approach. Included in this volume are chapters outlining various environmental risk factors such as phthalates and dietary components, life states such as pregnancy and ageing, hormonal and metabolic considerations and specific disease risks such as cancer cardiovascular diseases and other non-communicable diseases. Environmental Epigenetics imparts integrative knowledge of the science of epigenetics and the issues raised in environmental epidemiology.
