Project description
By means of a formal framework using causal Beyesian nets I will model the causal structure of classical genetics, parts of cytology and parts of molecular genetics. I will also analyse the relations between the respective networks of these theories. This will allow me to approach the debate on intertheoretic reduction in genetics adeqately.
