Abstract

The adult characteristics of animals, i.e. their phenotypes, must be studied in order to reach conclusions about the genotypes, i.e. the hereditary constitutions which form the basic subject-matter of genetics. But between genotype and phenotype lies a whole complex of development processes, for which Dr Waddington proposes the name 'epigenotype.' He here describes some of the general characteristics of an epigenotype, with special reference to the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster.

摘要

为了得出关于基因型的结论，即构成遗传学基本主题的遗传构成，必须研究动物的成年特征，即表型。但是，基因型和表型之间存在着一整套发育过程，为此，Waddington 博士提出了“表观基因型”这个名称。他在这里描述了表观基因型的一些一般特征，并特别提到了果蝇 Drosophila melanogaster。
