Who was George Mendel For presentation
Day 60
Why do we call him the father of genetics?
Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants
discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance
He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent
Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes
and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits
What is the first law of Mendel?
Mendel's first law is also known as the law of segregation
The law of segregation states that
'the alleles of a given locus segregate into separate gametes.'
Alleles sort independently because the gene is located on a specific chromosome
Why did Mendel use pea plants in his experiments?
Gregor Mendel conducted hybridization experiments on around 29,000 pea plants
Peas were an ideal choice for Mendel to use because they had easily observable traits there were 7 of which he could manipulate
He began his experiments on peas with two conditions
What is Mendelian genetics?
Mendelian inheritance is a type of biological inheritance that follows the laws originally proposed by Gregor Mendel in
re-discovered in 1900
1865 and 1866
Day 61
How did Genetics begin?
Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance
He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent
Whos is the father of genetics?
Gregor Mendel Father of Genetics
Who discovered the gene mutation?
Chromosomes, Mutation, and the Birth of Modern Genetics:
Thomas Hunt Morgan
In 1900 several scientists across Europe came to the same realization about heredity that Mendel had some 40 years before
But they arrived at the discovery from a very different direction
When was DNA first discovered?
It is a common misconception that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA in the 1950s
In reality, DNA was discovered decades before
It was by following the work of the pioneers before them that James and Francis were able to come to their ground-breaking conclusion about the structure of DNA in 1953
