Title: 
A herança genotípica proposta por Wilhelm Ludwig Johannsen
Other Titles: 
Wilhelm Ludwig Johannsen (1857-1927) coined the terms gene, genotype and phenotype, in the early 20th century. Besides that, he distinguished the concepts of genotype and phenotype. This paper tracks down the development of some features of Johannsen’s thought that led to the creation of those concepts, which are present on the article “The genotype conception of heredity”, published in 1911 in the journal The American Naturalist. From an analysis of secondary literature related to Johannsen’s work, it will be shown that there were changes in his thought concerning the concept of genotype from 1909 to 1926. There was a shift from an abstract concept to a material one, which would correspond to genes, but they would not be located on chromosomes.

Abstract: 
  • Wilhelm Ludwig Johannsen (1857-1927) coined the terms gene, genotype and phenotype, in the early 20th century. Besides that, he distinguished the concepts of genotype and phenotype. This paper tracks down the development of some features of Johannsen’s thought that led to the creation of those concepts, which are present on the article “The genotype conception of heredity”, published in 1911 in the journal The American Naturalist. From an analysis of secondary literature related to Johannsen’s work, it will be shown that there were changes in his thought concerning the concept of genotype from 1909 to 1926. There was a shift from an abstract concept to a material one, which would correspond to genes, but they would not be located on chromosomes.
  • Wilhelm Ludwig Johannsen (1857-1927) cunhou os termos gene, genótipo e fenótipo, no início do século XX. Além disso, fez a distinção entre os conceitos de genótipo e fenótipo. Este artigo busca apontar o desenvolvimento de aspectos de seu pensamento que o levaram a elaborar esses conceitos, presentes no artigo “The genotype conception of heredity”, publicado em 1911, no periódico The American Naturalist. Com base na literatura secundária referente à contribuição de Johannsen, será mostrado que houve mudança em seu pensamento acerca do conceito de genótipo no decorrer do período de 1909 a 1926. Ocorreu a passagem de um conceito relacionado a entidades abstratas para entidades materiais, reais, que corresponderiam aos genes, que não estariam localizadas nos cromossomos.
