It is extremely essential for a man to take himself away from the distractions of the society to understand the importance of nature and what nature has to offer.Emerson in his essay “Nature” creates…

Mendelian segregation never produces new character but re­sults in only redistribution of genes.Darwin was aware of these sudden changes and called ‘sports’ while Bateson described as ‘discontinuous variation’ and stated that they were of general oc­currence.Hugo DeVries (1901) gave the name ‘mutation‘ to these sud­den discrete changes. He worked on evening Primerose plant (Oenothera lamarkiana). i.ytimg.com ADVERTISEMENTS: Mutation may be defined as sudden heritable change in a gene due to change in sequence of nucleiotides which alter the phenotype of an individual, e.g. Short legged sheep was discov­ered by English farmer Wright (1791).

Gene mutations- Change in single gene. Types of mutations:…

Important Theories That Can Explain the Mechanism of Crossing Over are listed below:1. Janssen’s partial chiasma type theory. ADVERTISEMENTS: 2. Belling’s copy choice theory.3. Darlington’s breakage and reunion theory. i.ytimg.com 1. Breakage and reunion theory: This theory is based on the assumptions that:1. Prior to crossing over each chromosome of each bivalent get duplicated to form tetrad. ADVERTISEMENTS: 2. Crossing over occurs only between non-sister chromatids.3. Crossing over involves the mechanical breaks in non-sister chromatids due to twisting around each other and reunion or recombination of chromatids take place.According to this theory first of all, chromatids break and then form chiasmata. Crossing over does not produce chiasmata but it is caused by chiasmata. 2. Copy choice theory: This theory was proposed by Belling in 1933. According to this theory, the…
