The Physical Basis of Heredity is a scientific book written by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1919. The book explores the fundamental principles of heredity and the role of genetics in the transmission of traits from one generation to the next. Morgan's work in the field of genetics revolutionized the study of heredity, and this book is considered a classic in the field.The book begins with an introduction to the basic principles of genetics, including the structure and function of chromosomes and the laws of inheritance. Morgan then delves into the mechanisms of genetic variation, including mutation and recombination. He also explores the role of environment in shaping genetic traits.Throughout the book, Morgan emphasizes the importance of experimental evidence in understanding the physical basis of heredity. He describes many of the experiments that he and his colleagues conducted to investigate the mechanisms of inheritance, including the famous fruit fly experiments.The Physical Basis of Heredity is a landmark work in the history of genetics. It provides a comprehensive overview of the principles of heredity and the mechanisms of genetic variation, and it remains an important reference for scientists and students of genetics today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
