For the historically inclined, Hermann J. Muller (1932, Further
studies on the nature and causes of gene mutations. Int. Congr.
Genet. 6: 213-255) discusses many of these same issues in terms
of a pre-DNA genetic formalism. Muller's coined terms "amorph,"
"hypomorph," "hypermorph," "antimorph," and "neomorph" are still
widely used in Drosophila genetics.
The parallels in the thinking are obvious.
