The Influence Of Heredity And Of Environment In Determining The Coat Colors In Mice (1911) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781167037641)

The book ""The Influence Of Heredity And Of Environment In Determining The Coat Colors In Mice"" was written by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1911. This book explores the relationship between genetics and the environment in determining the coat colors of mice. Morgan was a renowned American geneticist who made significant contributions to the study of genetics, and this book is one of his most important works.In the book, Morgan discusses his experiments with mice and how he observed that coat color is determined by both genetic factors and environmental factors. He describes how he bred different strains of mice and observed the traits that were passed down from generation to generation. He also studied the effects of different environmental factors, such as diet and temperature, on coat color.Morgan's research in this book was groundbreaking at the time and helped to lay the foundation for modern genetics. He was able to demonstrate how genetic inheritance works and how it can be influenced by environmental factors. He also showed that coat color in mice is determined by multiple genes, which was a significant discovery.Overall, ""The Influence Of Heredity And Of Environment In Determining The Coat Colors In Mice"" is an important book for anyone interested in genetics or animal breeding. It provides a detailed look at the relationship between genetics and the environment, and how these factors work together to determine traits in animals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
