Chromosomes and Heredity

Article Abstract by: Kartel     

Original Author: Morgan, Thomas H.
The work of the dual luminaries in the scientific field, Morgan and Thomas, especially Morgan himself was an evidence of
discipline and meticulous knack of will power and selfless dedication towards humanity and the creative dynamism inexcusably found in creation.
This is against the backdrop of inexcusable believe in evolution, which came into being as a result of ignorance of the fact that “whereby some hypothesis in scientific discoveries {with respect to human chemistry and biological fields}, could not be substantiated with known physical correlates, A lot we owe to Morgan for his witty attack on the issue of heredity. His choice of the fruit fly, Drosophilae Melanogaster for his lab analysis was also brilliant judging from its notable and observable characteristics as it has only four chromosomes, which made it an ideal specimen for genetic studies, Coupled with the combination of the right question; the right specimen; the right and “ bright of the trio of student’s” collaborations, and some luck made his group in his “The fly room”dubbled lab-a well cultivated egalitarian system of collaborations yet unheard of , helped him prove that:
1.really chromosomes indeed carried genes-the factors that governs inheritance.
2.genes too are discrete physical things arranged on chromosomes like beards on the string.
3.genes change places on chromosomes-notably during meiosis, the chromosomes division that leads to formation of eggs and sperm.
4.genes can be mutated and faithfully inherited by the offspring.
5.Mutations are likely effected by exposure to high-energy radiations or other environmental factors.

    Best of humanity

    I simply wonder what it could had looked like for Morgans to stand tall against the back drop of dawarnism/evolution with their discovery of chromosomes and hereditary. Quite a courage !

    A Good Testimony of the facts on Creation

    I simply give glory to God that creation has always been vindicated by the works of the likes of Morgans.
