Mendelism

It's good Mendelism that you should take after an aunt rather than either of your parents."

They provided assistance for his research programme at a time when Mendelism was not yet recognized as a legitimate field of study.

In the first half of the 20th century, Mendelism was not a popular subject among French biologists.

Regardless, the "re-discovery" made Mendelism an important but controversial theory.

Though de Vries later lost interest in Mendelism, other biologists built genetics into a science.

"The time was ripe for Mendelism" according to Stern (Ibid).

Mendelism and evolution.

A Century of Mendelism in Human Genetics.

Udny Yule (1902) argued against Mendelism because he thought that dominant alleles would increase in the population.

Each had a robust approach to mathematical exuberance, a deep respect for farmers and seedsmen, and an interest in the broader implications of Mendelism.

He also wrote books on the history of science, on Isaac Newton and on Mendelism in human genetics.

Evolutionary biology: Development of both animals and plants is considered in the articles on evolution, population genetics, heredity, variation, Mendelism, reproduction.

While in college, he read about Mendelism, which piqued Sturtevant's interest because it could explain the traits expressed in the horse pedigrees.

But while Morgan was skeptical of natural selection for many years, his theories of heredity and variation were radically transformed through his conversion to Mendelism.

Mendel's experiments on cultivated varieties of plants were published in 1865, but attracted little notice until thirty-five years later, sixteen years after his death (see Mendelism).

His Mendelism (1905) is sometimes said to have been the first textbook on genetics; it was probably the first popular science book to introduce genetics to the public.

However, after the re-discovery of Gregor Mendel's laws of heredity, he moved on to become a prominent supporter of Mendelism.

The relevance of Mendelism to evolution was unclear and hotly debated, especially by Bateson, who opposed the biometric ideas of his former teacher Weldon.

Weismann's ideas preceded the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's work, and though Weismann was cagey about accepting Mendelism, younger workers soon made the connection.

Mutationism (sometimes, "Mendelism") refers to the theory emphasizing mutation as a creative principle and source of discontinuity in evolutionary change, particularly associated with the founders of modern genetics.

Bateson had already published a defence of Gregor Mendel's principles of heredity; in 1905 Punnett published his influential Mendelism, in both small and large versions.

Upon the rediscovery of Mendel's work by Correns, De Vries, and Tschermak, Cuénot proved that Mendelism applied to animals as well as plants.

The work of J.B.S. Haldane, R.A. Fisher and Julian Huxley was vitally important for showing the relationships between Mendelism and natural selection.

The views of Hugo de Vries and others about the importance of saltatory variation, the soundness of which was still not generally accepted in 1910, may be gathered from the article Mendelism.
