...years, the U.S. has multiplied its total outlays for medical research by a factor of four (see diagram). The sum will reach at least $400 million in 1958, including $220 million in congressional appropriations. $130 million spent by industry, $50 million by foundations, voluntary health associations, universities and their medical schools. Is this enough? For the present, yes was the consensus of the experts quizzed by Bayne-Jones's group. Or as Dr. James A. Shannon, director of the National Institutes of Health (which handles 70% of the Government's outlays in this field), last year told Congress...
...dominant and recessive. The gene for red-floweredness is dominant; the gene for white-floweredness is recessive. When red-and white-flowered plants are mated, the seeds produced get both genes, but the dominant red gene suppresses the recessive white gene. Result: red flowers in the first generation (see diagram...
...nuclei of cells. When a cell divides nonsexually, as in a growing plant or animal tissue, the chromosomes replicate (make copies of) themselves. Each daughter cell gets a full set, and unless something has gone wrong, it is exactly like the chromosome set of the parent cell (see diagram...
...horizontal members, like steps, connecting the two spirals. This molecular model, deduced mostly from X-ray diffraction photos, seemed complex and unlikely, but geneticists rejoiced when they heard about it. It was just what they" needed to explain many perplexing things that they had been observing for years (see diagram...
...problem in celestial mechanics has been worked on for more than a century in finer and finer detail. Many factors must be considered, including the speed of the probe, the motion of the moon around the earth, and the overlapping gravitational fields of the earth, moon and sun (see diagram...
