童第周教授是我国著名的生物学家、胚胎学家,1973年与美籍科学家牛满江夫妇俩合作,从鲫鱼的成熟卵中提取出信息核糖核酸(mRNA),然后注入金鱼受精卵中,结果使发育成的金鱼和它的后代,有一部分不是金鱼的双尾,而是鲫鱼的单尾。这是世界上首次在高等生物身上,证实生物细胞质信息核糖核酸对生物的发育、分化和遗传有显著的诱导作用,引起了国际上的广泛兴趣和重视。童第周教授的研究,是属于“遗传 Professor Tong was the famous biologist and embryologist in China. In 1973, he collaborated with the American scientist Niu Manjiang and extracted the information RNA from the mature eggs of the carp and injected it into the goldfish zygotes The development of goldfish and its offspring, part of the goldfish is not two-tailed, but the crucian carp. This is the first time in the world that higher biological organisms have confirmed that biological cytoplasmic information RNA has a significant inducing effect on the development, differentiation and heredity of organisms, arousing widespread international interest and attention. Professor Tong’s study of childhood belongs to ”heredity
