Dominance génétique

Définition et enjeux

Congrès international de génétique,  Comptes rendus et rapports (1913)

“ The best support for this view is given in all such cases, where one single factor (or the absence of one single factor) is the genotypical cause for two or more characters, some of which are dominant and some recessive. As an example it will suffice to point out Nilsson-Ehle's recent indications about mutations in oats.
Indeed our genetic analysis is mostly purely relative. Dominance and Recessivity alone are wholly irrelevant as to the decision of where a positive factor and where an absence is found in the case of segregation.

“ It would be hard to find a more conclusive case since there could be no doubt as to the purity of the parents and what is more rare no possible doubt as to whether a given kernel had a waxy or a horny endosperm.
Such variations among individuals of first generation hybrids are not unknown to students of genetics and these phenomena have been referred to variable dominance by those who use the Mendelian terminology.

“ We shall not enter the details of this matter.
The C1 Presence and Absence-Theory » seems to be the best base for the further devellopment of hypotheses as lo the nature of segregations and mutations. But it is necessary to revise the notion « Dominance ». Dominance says nothing as to the positivity of any factor, but it indicates only that a factor (or an absence of a factor) is able to realize the character or reaction in question even in case of heterozygosis.
