Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Classical genetics consists of the technique and methodologies of genetics that predate the advent of molecular biology . A key discovery of classical genetics in eukaryote s was genetic linkage . The observation that some gene s do not segregate independently at meiosis broke the laws of Mendelian inheritance , and provided science with a way to map characteristics to a location on the chromosome s. Linkage maps are still used today, especially in breeding for plant improvement . After the discovery of the genetic code and such tools of Clone genetics cloning as restriction enzyme s, the avenues of investigation open to geneticists were greatly broadened. Some classical genetic ideas have been supplanted with the mechanistic understanding brought by molecular discoveries, but many remain intact and in use. Classical genetics is often contrasted with reverse genetics , and aspects of molecular biology are sometimes referred to as moleculargenetics .

dablink For the book by E. B. Ford see Ecological Genetics book Template Evolutionary biology Ecological genetics is the study of genetics in the context of the interactions among organisms and between the organisms and their environment. While moleculargenetics studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level, ecological genetics and the related field of population genetics studies phenotypic evolution in natural populations of organisms. Research in this field is of traits of ecological significance that is, traits related to Fitness biology fitness , which affect an organism s survival and reproduction e.g., flowering time, drought tolerance, sex ratio . Studies are often done on insects and other organisms that have short generation times, and thus evolution evolve at high rates. History Although work on natural populations had been done previously, it is acknowledged that the field was founded by the United Kingdom English biologist Edmund Brisco Ford E.B. Ford 1901 1988 in the early 20th century. Ford was taught genetics at Oxford University by Julian Huxley , and started research on the genetics of natural populations in 1924.
