Contrary to inheritance laws the scientific world has accepted for more than 100 years, some plants revert to normal traits carried by their grandparents, bypassing genetic abnormalities carried by ...

ANOTHER direct challenge has been posed to one of the cornerstones of biology, Mendel’s laws of inheritance. Mendel’s laws underlie almost all of genetics. They state, for example, that it is the ...

In 1857, Augustinian friar Gregor Mendel began growing peas in the garden of the Augustinian Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno, Austrian Empire (present-day Czech Republic). Mendel’s experiments would lead ...

French scientists say they've found mice with a mutant gene can defy the laws of genetic inheritance -- passing on traits even if the gene is absent. The scientists suggest RNA, a chemical cousin of ...

This Special Issue celebrates Mendel’s 200th birthday by focusing on exceptions to the Mendelian ‘laws’. Discovery in science is often driven forward more by exceptions than by rules. In genetics, ...

Gregor Johann Mendel, the ‘father of modern genetics’ was born 200 years ago on July 20, 1822. Scientists have advanced in genetics in leaps and bounds because of one individual who pursued in ...

Mendel solved the logic of inheritance in his monastery garden with no more technology than Darwin had in his garden at Down House. So why couldn't Darwin have done it too? A Journal of Biology ...

In science, a law describes true and unchanging relationship among interacting elements. Generally, while finding new laws in science, the scientist negotiates three layers — experiment, observation ...
