Chromosomal Theory of Heridity

Chromosomal theory of Heredity


Chromosomes contain genes and transfer the hereditary characters into new gener-

ation. The function of chromosomes was explained by a German scientist Karl Correns
in 1900. He considered the chromosome, as vehicles for the knowledge of hereditary.

Later on a theory was proposed about chromosomes, by an American scientist
Walter Sutton in 1902. This theory is named chromosomal theory of hereditary.

The details of this theory are as follows:

(1) Hereditary material within the nucleus:
In reproduction two cells, sperms and ova participate in fertilization. Both gametes
have equal contribution within the process. The male gamete contains little cytoplasm.
So it indicates that hereditary material is present within the nucleus.

(ii) Segregation of chromosomes:


The chromosomes show the method of segregation (separation) during meiosis.
This segregation is analogous to the Mendel's experiments.

(iii) Haploid and diploid bodies:


In reproduction gametes are haploid and that they contain one copy of chromosomes.
in diploid individual two copies of chromosomes are present. it's consistent with the
Mendel's experiments.


(V) Independent arrangement of chromosomes:


The chromosomes are arranged in independent manner on the metaphase plate,
this arrangement isn't concerned with other chromosomes. it's consistent with the
independent assortment of chromosomes mentioned by Mendel.

Objection:


Ine objection on chromosomal theory of hereditary Is that when there's inde-
pendent assortment of chromosomes in meiosis, the amount of things (genes) is more

than the amount of chromosomes. this is often considered as a fatal objection about
Sutton's theory.

Neurotransmitters and receptors

Neurotransmitters and receptors Did you know there are billions of neurons—and trillions of synapses—in your amazing brain? ^1 1 start superscript, 1, end superscript  (No wonder you can learn anything, including neurobiology!) Most of your synapses are  chemical synapses , meaning that information is carried by chemical messengers from one neuron to the next. In the article on synapses, we discussed how synaptic transmission works. Here, we’ll focus on  neurotransmitters , the chemical messengers released from neurons at synapses so that they can “talk” to neighboring cells. We’ll also look at the receptor proteins that let the target cell “hear” the message. Neurotransmitters: Conventional and unconventional There are many different kinds of neurotransmitters, and new ones are still being discovered! Over the years, the very idea of what makes something a neurotransmitter has changed and broadened. Because the definition has expanded, so...

The Importance of Animal Physiology

The Importance of  Animal Physiology Why is the study of animal physiology important to you and to people in general? Not the least of the reasons is the one we have already emphasized—namely, that a full understanding and appreciation of all the marvels and other phenomena of the animal world depends on an analysis of how animals work. The study of physiology draws us beyond surface impressions into the inner workings of animals, and nearly always this venture is not only a voyage of discovery, but also one of revelation. The study of physiology also has enormous practical applications because physiology is a principal discipline in the understanding of health and disease. The analysis of many human diseases—ranging from aching joints to heart failure—depends on understanding how the “human machine” works. A physician who studies heart disease, for instance, needs to know the forces that make blood flow into the heart chambers between one heartbeat and the next. The physician ...

What are chromosomes?

Image
Chromosome Chromosome During cell division the chromatin material change into thread like structure called chromosome. Chromosomes are also called physical basis of hereditary. On the chromosomes small bodies are located call genes. There are thousands of genes are present in an organisms.Genes are the unit of heredity. These genes contain hereditary character which are transfered from one generation to another by the help of chromosomes. Chromosomes were discovered by a biologist waldyer in 1876. After that in  1908 Sutton identified the function of chromosomes,that they take part in the transfer of hereditary characters.      ( Next post will be about Structure of chromosomes)
