Description
Excerpt from The Theory of the Gene
In the same year in which the first edition of the Theory of the Gene appeared, I published a short article in the Quarterly Review of Biology in which certain questions relating to sex and fertilization were discussed. This topic was not taken up in the first edition, although intimately related to the subjects there considered. The sexual un ion of the plus and minus strains of certain fungi and algae, in relation to the fertilization of the eggs of the higher plants, raises a number of questions of fundamen tal interest to biologists. With the permission of the pub lishers, Williams, Wilkins, and Co., I have reprinted here those parts of the original article that bear on the ques tion, as an extension of the chapter on Other Methods of sex-determination involving Sex Chromosomes.
