Fisher family (genetics)

The Fisher family in genetics refers to the principles established by Ronald Fisher, a pioneering geneticist. His work explains how genetic variations are inherited and dispersed in populations, blending Mendelian inheritance with population genetics. Fisher showed how genes influence traits and how natural selection acts on genetic diversity. These principles help us understand evolution, why populations change over time, and how genetic traits are passed across generations, providing a scientific framework for studying heredity and biological variation.
