Genetic Analysis : A History of Genetic Thinking

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - There is a paradox lying at the heart of the study of heredity. To understand the ways in which features are passed down from one generation to the next, we have to dig deeper and deeper into the ultimate nature of things - from organisms, to genes, to molecules. And yet as we do this, increasingly we find we are out of focus with our subjects. What has any of this to do with the living, breathing organisms with which we started Organisms are living. Molecules are not.

His book offers a deep and innovative understanding of our ways of thinking about heredity. Artikel-Nr. 9780521182812
