ISBN: 9780260964854 - heredity of a maize variation (classic reprint) (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed study into the inheritance of an obscure maize variation. The author begins with the discovery of a single white ear of corn in a field of yellow corn. The conditions under which the ear was found suggest a direct mutation, challenging the idea that this deviation was the result of cross-pollination. The book delves into the behavior of the white ear's progeny, looking at the inheritance of its endosperm color in its offspring. The research described in this book provides evidence to support the author's argument that segregation of traits in hybrids is often incomplete and influenced by many factors. The results of this study challenge the theory of complete segregation, which has been a cornerstone of Mendelian inheritance. This study adds to the understanding of the complexity of genetic inheritance and the variation found in nature.
