The phrase "a study of inheritance" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to genetics, biology, or any field that involves examining how traits or characteristics are passed down from one generation to another.
Example: "The research paper presents a study of inheritance patterns in fruit flies, highlighting the role of specific genes."
Alternatives: "an analysis of inheritance" or "an examination of inheritance".
As part of a study of the inheritance of OA, selected participants in the Offspring cohort were originally examined between 1992 and 1994.
We have chosen cultivars Borung and Paraggio from a screen of 11 lines to be used as parental lines in a study of plastid inheritance.
While many interesting cases involve identifying new inheritance channels which are based on new inheritance systems, and discussions are often ambiguous as to which of the two notions they refer to, the study of inheritance systems is a separate endeavor from the analysis of the inheritance channels affecting individual organisms or traits.
Traditional medical genetics has a specific focus and target population, being primarily the study of inheritance, and is most typically applied to reproductive health issues and pediatric-onset disorders.
The genetic regulation of flower color has been widely studied, notably as a character used by Mendel and his predecessors in the study of inheritance in pea.
Genetic linkage maps are essential tools for a wide range of genetic and breeding applications, including the study of inheritance of qualitative and quantitative traits and the identification of markers linked to relevant agronomic traits.
Classical genetics began with Mendel's study of inheritance in garden peas and continues with studies of inheritance in many different plants and animals.
The Framingham study also provided data that were used for the investigation of cancer, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis, dementia, diabetes mellitus, and eye disease as well as for the study of inheritance and genetic patterns of common diseases.
As someone who writes about evolution and genetics – both of which involve the study of inheritance, and both of which rely on making quantitative comparisons between living things – I often receive letters from people associating Darwin with racism, usually citing the use of the words "favoured races" in the lengthy subtitle to his masterpiece, On the Origin of Species.
The study of inheritance systems combines attention to the growing knowledge about inheritance mechanisms and processes in nature with reflection about the nature and dynamics of the evolutionary process.
