Once again, social meanings are enmeshed within beliefs about heredity.

Genes are the basic units of heredity in living organisms.

These days, scientists know a lot more about genetics and heredity.

The principle is you just need those three things variation, selection and heredity.

And kind of the father of classical genetics and heredity is Gregor Mendel.

The mechanism of action belief therefore is sourced in learning, not heredity or instinct.

I'll admit there's a strong resemblance... but that's a matter of heredity, not magic.

The Geneticists are inclined to think that human behavior is derived from heredity and instinct.

This is the basic unit of heredity, or it's what codes all of our genetic information.

Folk ideas about heredity are a particularly powerful cultural tool, but they are not unique to pre modern societies.

By breeding the pea plants he was growing in the monastery's garden, he discovered the principles that rule heredity.

Heredity, it's basically just the passing on of genetic traits from parents to offspring and like John said, the study of heredity is ancient, although, the first ideas about how the goods were passed on from parents to kids were really, really, really, really, really, really wrong.

The distinction is similar to that proposed by August Weismann, who distinguished between germ plasm (heredity) and somatic cells (the body).

The base pair code in DNA is arranged in groups, each providing the basic unit of cellular information and heredity, the gene.

The tremendous success of experimental approaches to development, heredity, and metabolism in the 1900s and 1910s demonstrated the power of experimentation in biology.

Harkening back to Susan Blackmore's talk, we now have a means of transmitting information with heredity and selection, and we know where that leads.

Harkening back to Susan Blackmore's talk, we now have a means of transmitting information with heredity and selection, and we know where that leads.

Aristotle also thought that semen was highly purified menstrual blood, which is why we still refer to blood lines when we're talking about heredity.

Widely publicized in recent years by Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, the new synthesis unites Darwin s theory of natural selection with Mendelian genetics, which explains heredity.

In the light of recent developments in the field of genetics, it is now known that every cell of every living organism contains functional units of heredity .

And I want to repeat again, this isn't necessarily how the alleles for eye color work, but it's a nice simplification to maybe understand how heredity works.

The concept of natural selection was originally developed in the absence of a valid theory of heredity at the time of Darwin's writing, nothing was known of modern genetics.

The first person to really start studying and thinking about heredity in a modern way was this Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel, and Mendel demonstrated that inheritance followed particular patterns.

But like any other peoples, our own application of that information to the puzzle of our existence is strongly influenced by our non scientific ideas, our pervasive folk ideologies of heredity.

If you want to understand how the flu works, or if you wanted to understand the human genome, or if you wanted to understand heredity, evolution is the cornerstone of that.

Even contemporary science has its own cultural ideologies about heredity, which are often difficult to disentangle from the complex data and high technology that we believe produces objective, value free glimpses of nature.

The Convention broadly defines genetic material as any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity and genetic resources as genetic material of actual or potential value (art. 2).

Genetic resources, in particular, are defined as genetic material of actual or potential value , and genetic material is defined as any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity .

For a long time, those who studied the nature of life and heredity were divided into two camps epigeneticists , who emphasized environmental influences on living organisms, and preformists , who stressed the similarities between parents and progeny.

So the double helix just describes the structure, the shape that DNA takes, and it leads to all sorts of interesting repercussions in terms of how heredity takes place and how natural selection and variation might take place as well.

Thomas Hunt Morgan (September 25, 1866 December 4, 1945) was an American evolutionary biologist, geneticist and embryologist and science author who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1933 for discoveries elucidating the role that the chromosome plays in heredity.
