Professor Reginald Crundall Punnett FRS was a British geneticist who co-founded, with William Bateson, the Journal of Genetics in 1910. Punnett is probably best remembered today as the creator of the Punnett square, a tool still used by biologists to predict the probability of possible genotypes of offspring. His Mendelism (1905) is sometimes said to have been the first textbook on genetics; it was probably the first popular science book to introduce genetics to the public.

  • Professor Reginald Crundall Punnett FRS was a British geneticist who co-founded, with William Bateson, the Journal of Genetics in 1910. Punnett is probably best remembered today as the creator of the Punnett square, a tool still used by biologists to predict the probability of possible genotypes of offspring. His Mendelism (1905) is sometimes said to have been the first textbook on genetics; it was probably the first popular science book to introduce genetics to the public.
  • Reginald Crundall Punnett war ein britischer Genetiker.
  • Reginald Crundall Punnett, F.R.S. , genetista británico.
  • Punnett nacque a Tonbridge e fu educato al Gonville and Caius College di Cambridge, dove iniziò a studiare medicina ma si laureò nel 1898 in zoologia. Rimase a Cambridge per eseguire ricerche sulla fisiologia di vermi nemertini. Quando, nel 1900, furono riscoperti i lavori di Mendel sulla genetica, Punnett con William Bateson aiutò a introdurre la nuova genetica a Cambridge, scoprendo, sempre con Bateson, vari collegamenti genetici. Punnett fu anche il creatore del Quadrato di Punnett, uno strumento ancora utilizzato dai biologi odierni per calcolare le probabilità dei possibili genotipi in un incrocio. Nel 1908, non riuscendo a spiegare come un allele dominante non diventi col tempo fisso in tutta una popolazione, espose i suoi dubbi al matematico inglese G.H. Hardy, con il quale giocava a cricket. Hardy formulò, così, un principio fondamentale della genetica delle popolazioni, la cosiddetta Legge di Hardy-Weinberg. Bateson e Punnett fondarono, nel 1910 il “Giornale della Genetica”. Punnett diventò professore di genetica a Cambridge nel 1912 quando Bateson abbandonò la cattedra e fu eletto Fellow della Royal Society nello stesso anno. Ricevette nel 1922 la Darwin Medal e si ritirò nel 1940. Morì nel 1967 a Bilbrook.
  • Reginald Crundall Punnett was een Engels geneticus die samen met William Bateson in 1910 het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Journal of Genetics oprichtte. Punnetts naam wordt waarschijnlijk het meest herdacht als schepper van het vierkant van Punnett, een hulpmiddel dat biologen nog steeds gebruiken om de kans op mogelijke genotypen bij nageslacht te voorspellen. Zijn boek Mendelism (1905) was waarschijnlijk het eerste boek over genetica in de categorie populaire wetenschap.
