Contrary to inheritance laws the scientific world has accepted for more than 100 years, some plants revert to normal traits carried by their grandparents, bypassing genetic abnormalities carried by ...

Mendel solved the logic of inheritance in his monastery garden with no more technology than Darwin had in his garden at Down House. So why couldn’t Darwin have done it too? A Journal of Biology ...

This Special Issue celebrates Mendel’s 200th birthday by focusing on exceptions to the Mendelian ‘laws’. Discovery in science is often driven forward more by exceptions than by rules. In genetics, ...

ANOTHER direct challenge has been posed to one of the cornerstones of biology, Mendel’s laws of inheritance. Mendel’s laws underlie almost all of genetics. They state, for example, that it is the ...

1. The basic principle in Mendel's discoveries is that of the purity of the germcells; in accordance with this a cross-bred animal or plant produces germ-cells bearing only one of each pair of ...

Today, Gregor Mendel and his pea plants are part of the canon of modern science. Every high school biology student learns the story of the monk who cross-bred pea plants in the abbey gardens and ...

Challenging a scientific law of inheritance that has stood for 150 years, scientists say plants sometimes select better bits of DNA in order to develop normally even when their predecessors carried ...

A long lost manuscript, one of the most important in the history of modern biology, has resurfaced as part of a dispute over its ownership. The manuscript is the account by Gregor Mendel of the ...
