Problems of Genetics (Classic Reprint) by William Bateson Pdf

Excerpt from Problems of Genetics This book gives the substance of a series of lectures delivered in Yale University, where I had the privilege of holding the office of Silliman Lecturer in 1907. The delay in publication was brought about by a variety of causes. Inasmuch as the purpose of the lectures is to discuss some of the wider problems of biology in the light of knowledge acquired by Mendelian methods of analysis, it was essential that a fairly full account of the conclusions established by them should first be undertaken and I therefore postponed the present work till a book on Mendel's Principles had been completed. On attempting a more general discussion Of the bearing Of the phenomena on the theory of Evolution, I found myself continually hindered by the consciousness that such treatment is premature, and by doubt whether it were not better that the debate should for the present stand indefinitely adjourned. That species have come into existence by an evolutionary process no one seriously doubts; but few who are familiar with the facts that genetic research has revealed are now inclined to speculate as to the manner by which the process has been ac complished. Our knowledge of the nature and properties Of living things is far too meagre to justify any such attempts. Suggestions of course can be made: though, however, these ideas may have a stimulating value in the lecture room, they look weak and thin when set out in print. The work which may one day give them a body has yet to be done. The development of negations is always an ungrateful task apt to be postponed for the positive business of experiment. Such work is happily now going forward in most of the centers of scientific life. Of many of the subjects here treated we already know more than we did in 1907. The delay in production has made it possible to incorporate these new contributions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

An Introduction to Modern Genetics (Classic Reprint) by C. H. Waddington Pdf

Excerpt from An Introduction to Modern Genetics Few biologists will doubt that heredity, the subject matter of genetics, is one of the important problems of biology. Indeed, when Mendel's results were rediscovered in 1900 and the new science of genetics got under way, it appeared to some authors that a new era was dawning in biological thought. But in the years that followed it often seemed that the high hopes which had been entertained were becoming dissi pated in a morass of numerical elaborations on the hackneyed theme of Mendelian segregation. Genetics was in danger of being considered, by other biologists, as a world of its own, devoted to following the comings and goings of genes whose relevance to other biological phenomena, though incontrovertible in general theory, could rarely be stated in detail and in particular.

Solving Problems in Genetics by Richard Kowles Pdf

Helping undergraduates in the analysis of genetic problems, this work emphasizes solutions, not just answers. The strategy is to provide the student with the essential steps and the reasoning involved in conducting the analysis, and throughout the book, an attempt is made to present a balanced account of genetics. Topics, therefore, center about Mendelian, cytogenetic, molecular, quantitative, and population genetics, with a few more specialized areas. Whenever possible, the student is provided with the appropriate basic statistics necessary to make some the analyses. The book also builds on itself; that is, analytical methods learned in early parts of the book are subsequently revisited and used for later analyses. A deliberate attempt is made to make complex concepts simple, and sometimes to point out that apparently simple concepts are sometimes less so on further investigation. Any student taking a genetics course will find this an invaluable aid to achieving a good understanding of genetic principles and practice.

Genetics by Herbert Eugene Walter Pdf

Excerpt from Genetics: An Introduction to the Study of Heredity The following pages had their origin in a course of lectures upon Heredity, given at Brown University during the winter of 1911 - 1912, which were amplified and repeated in part the following summer at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, before the biological summer school of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. An attempt has been made to summarize for the intelligent, but uninitiated, reader some of the more recent phases of the questions of heredity which are at present agitating the biological world. It is hoped that this summary will not only be of interest to the general reader, but that it will also be of service in college courses dealing with evolution and heredity. The subject of heredity concerns every one, but many of those who wish to become better informed regarding it are either too busily engaged or lack the opportunity to study the matter out for themselves. The recent literature in this field is already very large, with every indication that much more is about to follow, which is a further discouragement to non technical readers.

Inbreeding and Outbreeding by Edward M. East Pdf

Excerpt from Inbreeding and Outbreeding: Their Genetic and Sociological Significance It is inevitable that each work planned as a member of a series of biological monographs should be somewhat technical. Of necessity each must be concise. In view of the difficulties these limitations involve, one may hardly expect to escape the criticism that the subject matter often tends to be esoteric in its nature, for few can say in Shawn's odd fancy, "I tried to do too - much and did it." Nevertheless, there has been a serious effort to avoid a mere record of the development of a specific problem in Genetics as an aid to the general biologist. No one could have a professional interest in a subject of this kind without the desire that there be some practical application of the results to agriculture and to the many phases of sociology where a knowledge of the laws of heredity is a first requisite. Though such applications of the genetic conclusions are touched but lightly here, there is the hope that the non-biological worker interested in problems of human welfare will find some new thoughts and pertinent suggestions in the compelling logic of the controlled experiments described throughout the pages. At least it was with this idea in mind that the authors prepared the first four chapters. For the zoologist and botanist the well-known facts and elementary principles there discussed would have been unnecessary.

The Biology of the Race Problem (Classic Reprint) by Wesley Critz George Pdf

Excerpt from The Biology of the Race Problem One of the most important problems facing Americans today is, Shall we pursue programs that would result in mixing the genes of the Negro race with those of the White race and so convert the population Of the United States into a mixed-blooded people? Before saying yes to that question, before making any revolutionary decisions relative to SO important and irreversible a matter, the information we have that bears on the issue should be carefully examined and critically evaluated.

Mendelism (Classic Reprint) by Reginald Crundall Punnett Pdf

Excerpt from Mendelism Since the last edition of this little book was pub lished ih [912 the most noteworthy contribution to genetical studies has come from the American school. In the fruit-fly, Drosopkz'la, they have found unusually favourable material with which to work, and they' have exploited the advantages it offers with energy and acumen. Their object has been to connect. The phenomena of heredity with the visible material basis of the chromosomes of the living cell. Indeed, Professor Morgan has declared that, as the result of these researches, the problem of heredity has been solved. While admitting the very high value and interest of the work I am not prepared to subscribe to this dictum. I have tried, however, to present the position of the supporters of the chromosome theory, in order that those who wish to may make themselves acquainted with what is, at the present moment, the most keenly discussed.

The Physical Basis of Heredity (Classic Reprint) by Thomas Hunt Morgan Pdf

Excerpt from The Physical Basis of Heredity That the fundamental aspects Of heredity should have turned out to be so extraordinarily simple supports us in the hope that nature may, after all, be entirely approach able. Her much-advertised inscrutability has once more been found to be an illusion due to our ignorance. This is encouraging, for, if the world in which we live were as complicated as some Of our friends would have us believe we might well despair that biology could ever become an exact science. Personally I have no sympathy with the statement that the problem of the method of evolution is one which the biologist finds it impossible to leave alone, although the longer he works at it, the farther its solution fades into the distance. On the contrary, the evidence of recent years and the methods by means Of which this evidence is Obtained have already in a reasonably short time brought us nearer to a solution Of some Of the import ant problems Of evolution than seemed possible only a few years ago. That new problems and developments have arisen in the course of the work - as they are bound to do in any progressive science, as they do in chemistry and in physics for example - goes without saying, but only a spirit of Obscurantism could pretend that progress of this kind means that we see the solution of our problem fading away into the distance.
