Unit 2 Inheritance In Life Lecture 9 13
So in the last unit we studied about chemical basis of life. Now just Focus for a moment on biology‘s subject, ‗life‘. All living things on earth are characterized by cellular organization, growth, reproduction, homeostasis and heredity. These characteristics define the term life.
Then what is inheritance? Inheritance is something you possess from your ancestor and carried along, it may be any asset, money or anything but when we connect with the life what we will take from our parental generation and give it to our successors is INHERITANCE IN LIFE.
Life had amazing property of transformations. It could transmit information to the next generation. It reproduced itself faithfully. Plant the mango, get a mango. Not a Banana, Bees give bees and birds give birds. And even more than that, not just the things giving the same species, but within a species you can see the strong resemblances. If we take human beings Particular types of noses or the height of the individual will be difference, It would transmit in a family. So people knew somehow there was something very important about the information that was transmitted, which brings familial resemblance. So for thousands of years, people wondered about familial resemblance. Folks being folks would make up explanations for it. Information was combined from both parents and blended in offspring, known as Heredity. “Heredity is the transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring”. We have puzzled our heredity since before works were written down. It is important to know that for 200 or more years, people were just completely confused about this concepts.
The road to Mendel: Early ideas of heredity
Our understanding of heredity starts with a series of European farmers, who were trying to improve varieties of agricultural plants for economic and trade purpose. They carried out matings called ‗crosses‘ between individual plants and selecting the desirable offspring of the each cross. Little progress in solving the
