About This Item
No place:: Journal of General Physiology, 1954., 1954. 8vo. pp. 729-742. Printed wrappers. Ownership rubber stamp of Norman Horowitz. Fine. Ruth Sager (1918-1997), American geneticist, chiefly noted for recognizing the importance of nonchromosomal genes. While at the Rockefeller Institute, Sager began to question the traditional belief that all the genes governing heredity were to be found arranged linearly on the chromosomes of cell nuclei. In 1953 she discovered in the alga Chlamydomonas a second genetic-transmitting system: not located on the chromosomes of the alga. This gene governs the cell's sensitivity to the antibiotic streptomycin. Her experiments showed that the many nonchromosomal genes in Chlamydomonas could be passed on by either partner in sexual reproduction, that they controlled a variety of hereditary characteristics, and that they replicated and remained active through successive generations. In the 1960s research inspired by her pioneering studies showed that chloroplasts and mitochondria in cells of organisms throughout the evolutionary chain contain genetic materials that apparently synthesize proteins and other substances and largely regulate their own development.
