Gregor Mendel
Founder on Physics
Description!
Early Years!
In Gregor Mendel's early years he went to the University of Olomouc and he was very good at physics and math. A few months later he had to take care of the family farm. While he was in charge of the farm he also started studying to become a monk. Gregor filled a temporary teaching position, while he was teaching at the position he took a teaching exam but he failed it. After that he went to the University of Vienna and then was given a teaching job at a secondary school.
Experimental Design
When Gregor Mendel was getting ready to do his experiment with hybrids he use pea pod plants. In this experiment Mendel planted pea pods and then tested them with the regular pea pods to see what traits they had.
Data
Some of the thing Mendel looked at when he was doing this experiment was the seed shape, the pod color, and the stem length.
Reactions
At first scientist reacted confused because they didn't understand how testing pea pod plants meant that this theory worked on all plants. After he did the scientist liked his work and he was viewed as the father of modern genetics.
Foundation
Gregor's research provided a foundation for genetics when it was rediscovered later on. Scientist now say Mendel's is the discovery fathered genetics. All the research scientist have done recently was built off Mendel's genetics.
Vocab Words
Recessive is a gene that gets covered-up by a dominate gene such as freckles.
Co-Dominate is a gene that is neither dominate or recessive an example is if you cross a white feathered chicken with a black feathered chicken you will get a chicken that has both white and black feathered chicken.
