Genes and Linkage Groups in Genetics

Abstract

IN making a final reply to Prof. Huxley on the subject of linkage and genes, I should like to say that I resent very strongly his accusation that I refuse to keep to the point which he has raised. I may remind Prof. Huxley that he began the discussion by attacking my review in NATURE of Haecker's “Pluripotenz”; that he asked me for my views on the nature of linkage groups and unit-factors; and that when I answered him as briefly and clearly as possible, he replied by giving a lengthy exposition of the well-known ‘results’ of the Morgan school of Mendelians.
