摘要

Continuing the examination of the roots of molecular biology, this second article discusses how the cell theory prompted studies on cell division, gamete formation, and embryonic development. It further explores why Mendel’s findings on the laws of inheritance in 1865 remained unknown for 35 years, what led to their rediscovery, and how the chromosomes and Mendel’s factors got finally connected following a cross-disciplinary understanding of Mendel’s laws and chromosome behavior during meiosis. This connection heralded the birth of ‘genetics’ and ‘cytogenetics’.
