Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Mendelism And Other Methods Of Descent is a book written by Orator Fuller Cook in 1907. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of heredity and genetics, providing a detailed analysis of the principles of Mendelian inheritance and other methods of descent. The author begins by explaining the basic concepts of genetics, including the laws of inheritance, the role of chromosomes, and the mechanisms of gene expression. He then delves into the study of Mendelian inheritance, discussing topics such as dominant and recessive traits, genotype and phenotype, and the inheritance of multiple traits. The book also covers other methods of descent, including blending inheritance, Lamarckism, and Darwinism. The author provides a critical analysis of these theories, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses and discussing their relevance to modern genetics. Additionally, he explores the practical applications of genetics, including the breeding of plants and animals for specific traits, and the use of genetics in medicine and forensics. Mendelism And Other Methods Of Descent is a seminal work in the field of genetics, and is still widely read and cited today. The book provides a thorough and accessible introduction to the study of heredity and genetics, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the science of genetics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
