Mendel - genetics and heredity

Description

From version 2.0.0, access to an online book is integrated into this application (see below).

Since Richard Dawkin's book 'The Selfish Gene', the mechanisms behind our genes have come more and more to the fore in the natural sciences and also in philosophy.

Gregor Johann Mendel made a significant contribution to this around 150 years ago, even if it received no attention during his lifetime.

Mendel's rules are an elementary part of science teaching at secondary schools.

This app gives you the opportunity to play these rules clearly, transparently and comprehensibly. You have the option of combining several characteristics and varying the type of inheritance.

Everything costs you just a few clicks; using the genetics calculator also requires a minimum of clicks and calculates everything automatically in real time, even with complex constellations.

This promotes understanding and gives you an insight into the mathematical and combinatorial connections of what makes us external and internal.

This app also presents a special form of a 3D diagram that is very suitable for understanding the combinatorial relationships of the three possible types of inheritance.

Richard Dawkins introduced the term 'meme' into our cultural existence, alluding to the 'gene' in our natural existence.

The similarities?

Memes and genes potentially outlive us. We pass everything on to future generations like relay runners.

Memes are also subject to mutations. But that would be more of an aspect of a 'Darwin' app.

The 3D diagram could be such a meme, perhaps comparable to the Punnett square. It makes sense to represent the three types of possible inheritance in their interaction in three dimensions. Every type of inheritance in one dimension.

How come?

Because inheritance processes take place in parallel and therefore combined. Each trait is inherited in one of three types of inheritance.

Hopefully this app illustrates that in the best way possible.

From version 2.0.0, access to an online book is integrated into this app. This book presents a new philosophy based on the latest scientific findings, especially in the field of genetics, and the professional and life experience of the app developer. This integration largely determines the price of this app.


The offer includes tracking of the construction and later completion of the online version of this book in three languages in parallel. Feedback from interested buyers of this app is always welcome.

As of June 2025, the content of the book outside of the online version is a good 90 % completed. As of June 2025, the online version is about 60 % constructed in three languages (book structure with 14 chapters, example: 'Perception giant beats processing giant') and will be completed quickly in parallel in three languages.
