is an archetype. In 1976 Richard Dawkins wrote “Selfish Gene”‚ proposing a gene centered view of evolution rather than an organism or group centered one. The reason he describes the gene as « selfish » and not altruistic is that the gene’s ’agenda’ is to survive as a gene through replication and that the replication of the genes is at the gene level ; a gene of type A‚ when it replicates‚ will only make copies of gene A‚ and not of gene B. In this ground-breaking book‚ Dawkins has also coined the

BRCA1 is a breast cancer susceptibility gene‚ meaning that woman who possess different mutations in this genes also possess a greatly increased risk of acquiring familial breast cancer‚ mutations in these two genes alone appear to be responsible for approximately 70% of breast cancer cases in families with an inheritance pattern affecting several generations.

Gregor Mendel believed that genes followed “natural laws” and could be expressed in simple mathematical terms (Brooker 19). He was mostly intrigued by how genes varied as they pass from generation to generation (Brooker 18). Mendel decided to test his mathematical hypothesis using pea plants since they came “in several varieties‚ which varied in height and in the appearance of their flowers‚ seeds‚ and pods‚” (Brooker 19). He also decided to use self-fertilization and cross-fertilization to see which
