Excerpt from Genetics, Vol. 5: A Periodical Record of Investigations Bearing on Heredity and Variation, January, 1920
Fifth. For the present the individual chromosomes will not be weighted, but simply counted. Doubtless the ontogenetic working out of each chromosome is very specific both qualitatively and quantitatively. When ultimately genetical and cytological research locate in definite chromo somes the genes for definite traits, then the several chromosomes can be weighted, and due provision for their differential values properly made in the formulae for measuring the several features of ancestral influence.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex case of truncate, a variable and perplexing genetic condition in the fruit fly. The study of truncate, which involves the wings of its subjects, challenged prevailing Mendelian theories and underlined the need to understand genetics and its more unpredictable occurrences and behavior. Through various experiments, the author found truncate to be influenced by multiple factors, including sex and other mutant factors, and put forth that these factors may fluctuate and modify the character of truncate in ways not previously understood. This book provides a thorough and nuanced examination of a particular case in the inheritance of genetic traits and offers important insights into the variability of genetic expression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
