Читать книгу Principles of Plant Genetics and Breeding - George Acquaah - Страница 249

As previously stated, genetics is the principal science that underlies plant breeding. Mendel derived several postulates or principles of inheritance, which are often couched as Mendel's Laws of inheritance. Genes are transferred from parents to offspring following mating or crossing. Mendel's principles are best illustrated using self‐pollinated species as was the case in his original experiments.
