Study Notes
Open-Closed Principle
- The term "open-closed principle" was originated by Bertrand Meyer.
- The open-closed principle states that a software entity (such as a class or module) should be open for extension but closed for modification.
- A module being "open" means it provides a way to extend its behavior without modifying its source code.
Mendelian Inheritance
- Mendelian inheritance refers to the principles formulated by Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk and botanist.
- Mendelian inheritance is the basis of modern genetics, describing how traits are inherited from one generation to the next.
- The principles of Mendelian inheritance were initially formulated by Gregor Mendel.
- Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and Erich von Tschermak independently rediscovered Mendel's work in the early 20th century.
- In the 1910s, Thomas Hunt Morgan integrated Mendel's principles with the Boveri-Sutton chromosome theory.
- Ronald Fisher combined Mendelian inheritance with natural selection to form the modern evolutionary synthesis.
