Synopsis

How heredity shapes life, from cells to species

This accessible primer explores the science of heredity, showing how a single fertilized cell builds a whole organism and passes traits to the next generation. It explains the ideas behind germ-plasm, germ and somatic cells, and how cross-fertilization and the union of nuclei influence development.

The book traces the big questions of biology—what makes a human distinct from other beings, how variation arises, and how scientists study proofs in biology. It connects everyday phenomena, such as how diseases spread and how immunity evolves, to the underlying genetics and development that shape every living thing.

• How germ-plasm carries hereditary tendencies and what that means for development


• Differences between germ cells and body cells, and their roles in reproduction


• How fertilization and nuclear fusion influence offspring and species variation


• Connections between heredity, disease, immunity, and evolution

Ideal for curious readers new to genetics and anyone seeking a clear view of how inheritance underpins life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
