Johannsen's criticism of the chromosome theory.

Perspectives in biology and medicine - 1 Jan 2014

Roll-Hansen Nils

Abstract excerpt

The genotype theory of Wilhelm Johannsen (1857-1927) was an important contribution to the founding of classical genetics. This theory built on Johannsen's experimental demonstration that hereditary change is discontinuous, not continuous as had been widely assumed. Johannsen is also known for his criticism of traditional Darwinian evolution by natural selection, as well as his criticism of the classical Mendelian...
