Mendel's Principles of Heredity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781602069435)

Gregor Mendel first began studying inheritance in pea plants in 1856. While Darwin may have convinced the scientific community that evolution occurred, Mendel discovered some of the rules for this process. By breeding hybrid plants together, he was able to determine that there were dominant and recessive traits. And these traits would appear with a predictable and particular frequency in a given set of offspring. Mendel's Principles of Heredity is the 1913 translation, with added commentary, of Mendel's original work by British scientist WILLIAM BATESON (1861-1926), who coined the term genetics to refer to heredity and inherited traits. Anyone with an interest in science and genetics will find a wealth of information about one of the most revolutionary insights in modern science.
