	Population genetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Population genetics is the study of the distribution of and change in allele frequencies under the influence of the five evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, migration and nonrandom mating.
		Population genetics was a vital ingredient in the modern evolutionary synthesis, its primary founders were Sewall Wright, J.
		In practice, there are two bodies of evolutionary theory that exist in parallel, traditional population genetics operating in the genotype space and the biometric theory used in plant and animal breeding, operating in phenotype space.

	Genetics and Heredity [Athro, Limited: Biology]
		Genetic = the trait is controlled by some combination of named Mendelian genes, which may be may be identified as being located on a particular chromosome, and near some other genes.
		Genetic = The length of DNA of the gene responsible for a trait has been identified and its sequence determined.
		Genetics is the study of how those characteristics (both phenotype and genotype) are passed from parents to their children.

	Gregor Mendel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gregor Johann Mendel (July 22, 1822 – January 6, 1884) was an Austrian monk who is often called the "father of genetics" for his study of the inheritance of traits in pea plants.
		Ronald Fisher in 1918 used Mendelian genetics as the basis of the start of the modern synthesis in evolutionary biology.
		The leading expert in heredity at this time was Darwin's cousin Francis Galton who had mathematical skills that Darwin lacked and may have been able to understand the paper had he seen it.

	Olby's "Mendel, Mendelism, and Genetics," at MendelWeb
		In the second half of the century genetics became allied with biochemistry; it revolutionized bacteriology, played a major role in the emergence of the molecular biology of the fifties, resisted the challenge of ecology, took hold of cancer research and is even now reaching out to revolutionize taxonomy and its old rival embryology.
		Then came the 'marriage' of Mendelian genetics with Darwinian evolution, an event which played a key role in the restructuring of the life sciences, but it was not until the gene was molecularized in 1953 that the science of genetics took its rightful place at the center of biology.
		Genetic recombination followed, yielding individual variation among the hybrid offspring, but the variation was not continuous as claimed by the Darwinians, but discontinuous; in Mendel's experiments, seeds were either round or wrinkled, yellow or green, etc. Like Bateson's meristic variations they did not grade imperceptibly the one into the other.

	Mendelian Genetics
		Mendelian genetics is built on the work done by the "father of genetics", Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-1884).
		His contributions to the study of inheritance paved the way for our basic understanding of how traits are inherited from one generation to the next.
		Because of this he was able to predict outcomes of various genetic crosses and then test those predictions against actual crosses.

	Intro to Genetics
		Male and female contributed equally to the offsprings' genetic makeup: therefore the number of traits was probably two (the simplest solution).
		The patterns of Mendelian inheritance explained the perseverance of rare traits in organisms, all of which increased variation, as you recall that was a major facet of Darwin's theory.

	Mendelian genetics - EvoWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Mendelian genetics is the earliest and simplest form of genetics, created by Gregor Mendel, as an alternative explantion of heredity to blending.
		Mendel hypothesized that traits are controlled by units of heredity, now called genes, with different forms of a gene called alleles.
		Mendel discovered these laws when there was no established field of genetics and very little was known about biology at the molecular level, thus while Mendel's observations still apply, they are only a special case in a more complex field.

		The principle of segregation was consequently of the utmost importance for understanding both genetics and evolution.
		It says that every trait is inherited independently of the others and it thus covers the case that new combinations of genes can arise, which were not existing before.
		In contrast to his predecessors MENDEL was not interested in the problem of the sexuality of flowering plants and not in the delimitation of species and varieties, his interest was the numerical registration of the transmission of parental properties to the hybrids.

		The tenets of Mendelian genetics would prove to be instrumental in supporting the concept of evolution by natural selection, allowing independent variation to be preserved over many generations through hidden variation; additionally, this variation could be recombined in innumerable novel combinations in future generations.
		However, what is known is that all of the processes which govern an organism's growth, development, and maintenance are ultimately based in a code located in its chromosomes.

		Genomic imprinting, the unequal expression of gene alleles on the basis of parent of origin, is a major exception to mendelian laws of inheritance.
		On further reflection I see what you mean about the representation in the paper, that mendelian genetics is base on an assumption of equal expression of the 2 inherited alleles.
