1. Moist Vapour Theory Pythagoras (580-500 B.C.) believed that each organ of the body male produced moist vapours during coitus which formed the body parts of the embryo. 2. Fluid Theory Empedocles (504-433 B.C.), the pro-pounder of four humour theory, proposed that each body part produced a fluid.

They are often called theories of blending inheritance as they believed that characters of the parents blended or got mixed during their transmission to the offspring. 1. Moist Vapour Theory: Pythagoras (580-500 B.C.) believed that each organ of the body of male produced moist vapours during coitus which formed the body parts of the embryo.

A number of standpoints had already emerged before the Mendelian concept of genetics was discovered. In general, it was believed that the “essences” of parents used to blend during coitus, which was the main reason for inheritance. This theory is termed as the “theory of blending inheritance,” and most of the pertinent views in the pre-Mendelian er...
Gregor Mendel experimented on crossbred pea plants with single traits over various generations. In this breeding experiment, he crossed a pair of pea plants, with each having a different trait. Example, if one plant was short, the other was tall; if one had the shorter stem, the other pea plant had a longer stem; if one had round peas; the other pl...
The following two principles, or laws, encapsulate Mendel's findings and conclusions. 1. Law of Segregation According to the Law of Segregation, each parent's gene pairing (alleles) splits for any trait, and one gene goes from each parent to an offspring. It's entirely up to chance which gene in a pair is passed on. 1. Independent Assortment Law Ac...
The sum of all biological mechanisms by which certain features are passed down from parents to their offspring is known as heredity. Heredity is a concept that encompasses two seemingly opposing aspects of organisms: a species' consistency from generation to generation and individual variation within a species. Consistency and variance are two side...
For a long time, heredity was one of nature's most perplexing and mysterious phenomena. This was due to the fact that sex cells, which serve as a bridge for heredity to travel between generations, are normally imperceptible to the naked eye. The fundamentals of heredity could only be appreciated following the introduction of the microscope in the e...
Pythagoras (570-495 B.C.) proposed the theory that animals are born from one another by seeds and that seed is a drop from the brain which contains in itself a warm vapour; and that when this is applied to the womb, it transmits virtue, and moisture, and blood from the brain, from which flesh, and sinews, and bones, and hair, and the whole body ...
Nov 16, 2017 · What you need to know (The theory): Vapour. A substance in the gaseous phase, below its critical temperature. Remember critical temperature is the temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied, no matter the pressure applied to it. Vapour Pressure. The proportion of atmospheric pressure (partial pressure) attributable to a vapour
Nov 26, 2020 · 14.2: Evaporation Theory. One method of generating the vapour flux is through evaporation (heating a solid or liquid source). For evaporation to occur the heating must lead to sufficient vapour pressure (typically between 0.1-1 Pa).
