  2. Jesus bloodline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_bloodline

    The Jesus bloodline refers to the proposition that a lineal sequence of the historical Jesus has persisted, possibly to the present time. Although absent from the Gospels or historical records, the concept of Jesus having descendants has gained a presence in the public imagination, as seen with Dan Brown's 2003 best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code and its 2006 movie adaptation of the same name ...

  3. Heredity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heredity

    The modifications of the parent's traits are passed off to an embryo during its lifetime. The foundation of this doctrine was based on the theory of inheritance of acquired traits. In direct opposition, the Doctrine of Preformation claimed that "like generates like" where the germ would evolve to yield offspring similar to the parents.

  4. Meiotic drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiotic_drive

    The unequal inheritance of gametes has been observed since the 1950s, [5] in contrast to Gregor Mendel's First and Second Laws (the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment), which dictate that there is a random chance of each allele being passed on to offspring. Examples of selfish drive genes in animals have primarily been ...

  5. Extranuclear inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extranuclear_inheritance

    Uniparental inheritance occurs in extranuclear genes when only one parent contributes organellar DNA to the offspring. A classic example of uniparental gene transmission is the maternal inheritance of human mitochondria. The mother's mitochondria are transmitted to the offspring at fertilization via the egg. The father's mitochondrial genes are ...

  6. Reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

    By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a genetically similar or identical copy of itself. The evolution of sexual reproduction is a major puzzle for biologists. The two-fold cost of sexual reproduction is that only 50% of organisms reproduce [1] and organisms only pass on 50% of their genes. [2]

  7. Genealogy of Jesus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogy_of_Jesus

    Two Talmudic-era texts referring to a "Jesus, son of Pantera (Pandera)" are Tosefta Hullin 2:22f: "Jacob… came to heal him in the name of Jesus son of Pantera" and Qohelet Rabbah 1:8(3): "Jacob… came to heal him in the name of Jesus son of Pandera" and some editions of the Jerusalem Talmud also specifically name Jesus as the son of Pandera ...

  8. Classical genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_genetics

    Mendelian inheritance is the process in which genes and traits are passed from a set of parents to their offspring. These inherited traits are passed down mechanistically with one gene from one parent and the second gene from another parent in sexually reproducing organisms. This creates the pair of genes in diploid organisms.

  9. Particulate inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulate_inheritance

    Gregor Mendel, the Father of Genetics William Bateson Ronald Fisher. Particulate inheritance is a pattern of inheritance discovered by Mendelian genetics theorists, such as William Bateson, Ronald Fisher or Gregor Mendel himself, showing that phenotypic traits can be passed from generation to generation through "discrete particles" known as genes, which can keep their ability to be expressed ...
