Genetics research, explained
3 open-access genetics studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- How did Britain make the genetic counsellor?
Between 1980 and 1995 UK genetic counselling shifted from a postwar medical practice to a trained profession; Bangham highlights the professional women who promoted that shift.
- What did McClintock argue in 1961?
Wu shows that McClintock drew parallels between maize controlling elements and the bacterial operon, but Jacob and Monod recast her contribution as mere mobility.
- Did Spemann keep embryology from genes?
Brandt shows that Spemann opposed Drosophila-style genetics yet supported work, with Fritz Baltzer, at the heredity-development border, including Triton merogones.
