The New Theory of Heredity

views, revolutionary though they are, except by the biologists. If this theory is true, it is the most important contribution to biology and evolution since the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species. Till this view is thoroughly grasped, it is mere waste of time to speculate how far disease is capable of being transmitted from parent to offspring. The problem of heredity is one which has hi...

Heredity in Parkinson's disease: new findings.

Multiple factors have been hypothesized over the last century to be causative or contributory for Parkinson's disease. Hereditary factors have recently emerged as a major focus of Parkinson's disease research. Until recently most of the research on the etiology of Parkinson's disease concentrated on environmental factors, and the possibility that genetic factors contribute significantly to the ...

Heredity of the Rh Factor.

The blood was obtained from the finger and collected in small test tubes, using as an anticoagulant one drop of 3.8 percent dihydnc sodium citrate for every ten drops of blood. Two percent suspensions of the red cell sediments in saline solution were prepared, and the A , B groups and M , N types were determined. The tests for these agglutinogens were carried out on Boerner well slides, one dro...

Hologynic Heredity.

Sex-linked characters in man are well known; they are all pathological characters, so far as known; they are transmitted according to the same laws as the sex-linked characters in the little fruit-fly (Drosophila) and explained in the same manner by means of the sex chromosome. I propose the name “diagynic heredity” for this kind of heredity, as the sex-linked character is transmitted from male...
