How Did Gregor Mendel Make To Science
Gregor Mendel

1. Who was Gregor Mendel?
Mendel was a scientist who gained a substantial amount of fame from his study of genetics. He studied the pea plant and its inheritance of certain traits.

2. What contributions did he make to science?
His study of genetics led to an increase interest in the study of genetics. His biggest contribution to the study of science was his discovery of particulate inheritance, dominant and recessive traits, genotype and phenotype, and the concept of heterozygous and homozygous.

3. Which species did he work with?
Mendel worked with the simple pea pod plant in his 8 year science experiment

4. State his 4 hypothesis
The first part, or law, states that, "Alternative versions of genes

    They thought Mendel’s hereditary determinants were on a locus. They found out that the physical separation of alleles during anaphase I of meiosis accounts for Mendel’s principle of segregation. If the alleles for different genes are located on different chromosomes, they assort independently from one another in meiosis I. This confirmed the principle of independent assortment. Later on, the two scientists came up with the chromosome theory of inheritance, which states that independent assortment happens in metaphase and anaphase of meiosis I. To test the theory of inheritance, scientist Thomas Hunt Morgan used the fruit fly. At one point, Morgan noticed that a male fruit fly had white eyes rather than the wild type red eyes. He concluded that the white eyes resulted from a mutation. He mated a red-eyed female with a mutant white-eyed male and the results showed that all of the F_1 females had red eyes, but the F_1 males had white eyes. This was very peculiar because Mendel already proved that traits are not sex based. Morgan realized that the X chromosome in males and females explained his results. He determined that eye color is carried on the X chromosome and not on the Y chromosome. This is described as sex-linked inheritance. According to the X-linkage hypothesis, a female has two copies of the eye color gene because they have the two X chromosomes, whereas the male fruit flies have the one X chromosome that codes for eye color. The reciprocal cross of pea plants happened on non-sex chromosomes called autosomes. Genes on non-sex chromosomes show autosomal inheritance. Biologists now know that Boveri’s and Sutton's chromosome theory of inheritance was…

    He created his own school and taught kids his ideas on the world. He was the very first to actually study plants and animals in a scientific way and was a champion observer. He was also the first person to have the theory that Earth was the center of the universe but although that was wrong everyone respected him so much that they believed it for a very long time until somebody used modern day technology to prove that wrong and say that the sun was the center of the universe. He was also the person who said the movements of planets was circular so then they could go on forever but that is also wrong because they move in more of an oval shaped movement. That is a very big legacy to leave behind and he will be remembered for a very long time.…

    Melvin Calvin was an American biochemist who studied various fields of science. He made many important contributions to biology, and even more in the broad topic of science. Among his main interests were biology, chemistry, radiation chemistry, photochemistry, artificial photosynthesis, organic geochemistry, the origin of life, and uses of oils from plants for more energy sources. Of those many areas of research and experimentation, he made significant contributions of discovering the “dark” reactions/Calvin cycle, discovering the real source of energy for photosynthesis, separating immiscible solvents, helping with the biological safeties of the first landing on the moon, separating and decontaminating plutonium, and determining the structure for one of the Rh antigens. These contributions have all had a tremendous affect on science today, biology included.…
