Hormones And Heredity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162666709)

Hormones and Heredity is a book written by J. T. Cunningham that explores the relationship between hormones and genetics. The book delves into the role of hormones in the development and expression of inherited traits, including physical characteristics, behavior, and disease susceptibility. It covers topics such as the endocrine system, hormone receptors, gene regulation, and epigenetics. The book also examines the impact of hormones on various aspects of human health, including growth and development, reproduction, and aging. Hormones and Heredity is a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between hormones and genetics.The zygote therefore, whether the sex of it is determined as male or female, has the same factor for the development of milk glands. On the chromosome theory as formulated by Morgan this factor must be in the somatic chromosomes and not in the sex-chromosomes, and must be present in every zygote. All the cells of the body, assuming that somatic segregation does not occur, must possess the same chromosomes as the zygote from which it developed, and whether the sex chromosomes are XX or XY or X, there must be at any rate one chromosome bearing the factor for milk glands. The functional development of these depends normally, according to the evidence hitherto discovered, on the presence or absence of hormones from the ovary or from the uterus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
