Biology: Boveri-Sutton chromosome theory
Overview of how chromosomes were first proposed as the carriers of Mendel's "heritable factors" (what we now call "genes").
Biology
Life is beautiful! From atoms to cells, from genes to proteins, from populations to ecosystems, biology is the study of the fascinating and intricate systems that make life possible. Dive in to learn more about the many branches of biology and why they are exciting and important. Covers topics seen in a high school or first-year college biology course.
Chromosomal basis of genetics
How did fruit flies help researchers discover that genes are on chromosomes? Find out here, and see how the chromosomal location of a gene can affect how it is inherited.
