Sex-linked Inheritance in Drosophila by Thomas Hunt Morgan and Calvin B. Bridges
"Sex-linked Inheritance in Drosophila" by Thomas Hunt Morgan and Calvin B. Bridges is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into genetics, focusing specifically on the principles of sex-linked inheritance as observed in the fruit fly, "Drosophila ampelophila". The book offers a detailed exploration of Mendelian inheritance, linkage, crossing-over, and the implications of mutations on inheritance patterns. The opening of this publication introduces fundamental concepts of genetics,particularly Mendel's law of segregation and the nature of sex-linked inheritance. It explains how traits are passed through generations via sex chromosomes and describes the mechanics of how certain genetic traits are linked, creating specific inheritance patterns. Additionally, the authors discuss various types of genetic mutations that have been observed in "Drosophila", highlighting the importance of this model organism in understanding broader genetic principles. Overall, the beginning sets a solid foundation for the intricate genetic analyses presented throughout the work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
