Gregor Mendel
Founder of Physics
Description
Early Years
Experimental Design
Data
1.dominate and recessive chromosomes
2.shape of peas
3.stem lengthsThis shows there is either a dominant chromosomes that show and the other is hidden or two recessive chromosomes. Changing the shape and color of the pea, and the stem length.
Reactions & Foundation
Scientists in Mendel’s time didn’t understand how the experiments with pea plants could be applied to other organisms, but Gregor’s research provided a foundation for genetics. When it was rediscovered later on. Scientists now say Mendel’s discovery fathered genetics. All the research scientists have done recently was built off of Mendel’s genetics.
Vocab
Dominant
Example: brown eyes
Recessive
Example: no freckles
CoDominant
gene that is neither dominant nor recessive (both would show up)
Example: ABO blood type
