Synopsis
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.
