Hormones And Heredity - Hardcover

Hormones and Heredity is a book written by J.T. Cunningham that explores the relationship between hormones and genetics. The book delves into the role that hormones play in shaping the development and behavior of organisms, as well as the ways in which genetic factors influence the production and regulation of hormones. The author draws on a wide range of scientific research and case studies to illustrate the complex interplay between hormones and heredity, and offers insights into how this knowledge can be applied in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and conservation. The book is aimed at students and researchers in the biological sciences, as well as anyone interested in understanding the fundamental mechanisms that govern life on earth.The zygote therefore, whether the sex of it is determined as male or female, has the same factor for the development of milk glands. On the chromosome theory as formulated by Morgan this factor must be in the somatic chromosomes and not in the sex-chromosomes, and must be present in every zygote. All the cells of the body, assuming that somatic segregation does not occur, must possess the same chromosomes as the zygote from which it developed, and whether the sex chromosomes are XX or XY or X, there must be at any rate one chromosome bearing the factor for milk glands. The functional development of these depends normally, according to the evidence hitherto discovered, on the presence or absence of hormones from the ovary or from the uterus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
