About this Item

Die Naturwissenschaften, 15/22. - Berlin, Verlag von Julius Springer, 3. Juni 1927, 4°, 465-480, orig. Broschur. St.a. Umschlag. First Edition! "There quickly ensued several "beginner paper"," but the first major result of this fellowship, published in 1926-1927, was the demonstration by a combination of genetic and cytological techniques that the anomalous genetic behavior of the "bobbed bristles" trait could be explained In the Y-linked inheritance of the responsible allele (plus a homologous locus on the X). Until then, the Y-chromosome of Drosophila, although associated with male fertility, had been considered as otherwise genetically empty. Although Y-linked inheritance had previously been demonstrated by Schmidt in the fish, Lebistes reticulatus, this demonstration that abnormalities of Y-chromosome behavior (that is, the occurrence of XXY females) accounted for abnormalities in the inheritance of the bobbed trait was unusually elegant for the times, no doubt benefiting greatly from the cytological demands of Sterns Ph.D. thesis." James V. Neel, Curt Stern. Curt Stern (1902-1981) was a German-born American geneticist.
