Gregor Medel was born on July 22, 1822 in( what we call Hyncice, Czechosovakia) Heinzendorf, Austria. His parents wre peasants and they lived in the bad side of town.

At school Mendel was always an excellant student. He wanted to become a teacher when he got older. Several teachers at the time were priest, so you can see where this is going. In 1843 Mendel still kept his goal of being a teacher and at the age of 21, he joined the monastery of St. Thomas in Brunn ( currently Bruno, Czechoslovakia).

I chose Gregor Johann Mendel for an essay because ever since I started reading about genetics, Mendel was always mentioned. His experiments with the breeding of garden peas led to the development of the science called genetics.

Mendel's work and theories were accepted by contemporary scientists because he was a monk. The religious were the ones in the most control. Even today Mendel's theories are currently accepted. His experiments with the pea plant and their seeds. How Mendle included round or wrinkled seeds and tall or short plants.

During Mendel's experiments he found that unlike other organisms that reproduce sexually, pea plants produce their offspring through the union of special sex cells called gametes. In pea plants, a male gamete or sperm cell, combines with a female gamete, or egg cell, to form a seed. Mendel bred and crossbred thousands of plants and observed the characteristics of each successive generation.

According to my research, Gregor Mendel was just a genetics kind of guy. In one of his last works he concluded," That the pairs of genes segregate in a random fashion when a plant's gametes are formed. Thus a parent plant hands down only one gene of each pair to its offspring." Two more conclusions are now known as Mendel's Law of Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment. Since Mendel's time, scientists have discovered some exceptions to his conclusions, but his theories in general have been proved.

 

Gregor Mendel made a terrific contribution to science. His remarkable research on Hybridization of plants led us, the new generation, to expermentmore on genetics and heredity. His work, known as the mendelian law deals withthe hybridityin plants established so that there does exist in living things, dominant and recessive chacters or genes. Therefore mendel's work shaped or beifited the gene technology of today.

Mendel was an important biologist, however, if he never existed or had done his expirments, I think scientist wouldn't have starrted cloning until the late 2000's or 2100's. There will be someone who discover genes, but if none of these people existed, the world woud be a place desprate for help in science.

Gregor Mendel made a terrific contribution to science. His remarkable research on hybridization of plants led us, the new generation, to experiment more on genetics and heredity. His work, known as the mendelian law, deals with "the principle of factorial inheritance and the quantitative and investigation of single characters."
