Mendel's principles of heredity

Mendelian controversies: a botanical and historical review

“…Di Trocchio (1991) accepted the argument of Bateson (1913) and Corcos and Monaghan (1984) that Mendel's experiments were fictitious. He then took the argument a step further, claiming that instead of conducting monohybrid experiments, Mendel must have hybridized the 22 varieties in all possible combinations, then disaggregated the data into fictitious mono-, di-, and trihybrid experiments in his presentation, for the sake of simplicity.…”

The singular fate of genetics in the history of French biology, 1900?1940

“…At stake are the models, methods, and problems that will seem natural to working biologists. When a certain sort of knowledge is not 18 (1909). 389-406. transmitted to the next generation in its formative years, that knowledge will remain marginal.…”

Mendelian genetics: Paradigm, conjecture, or research program

“…Those who survey the work done in this department will arrive at the conviction that among all the numerous experiments made, not one has been carried out to such an extent and in such a way as to make it possible to determine the number of different forms under which the offspring of hybrids appear, or to arrange these forms with certainty according t o their separate generations, or definitely to ascertain their statistical relations. (Mendel, 1965) According to W. Bateson (1913), the success of Mendel's work is due to his clear conception of these three necessities.…”
