Was Darwin's theory rejected?
At the time some scientists did reject the theory, but by the end of Darwin's life the theory was, tentatively, accepted. Then genetics took off and the theory was panned again. 1900 t0 1932. Then the modern synthesis arose blending genetics with systematic thought, paleontology and botany and the theory of evolution by natural selection was on much firmer footing The theory has undergone many modifications since Darwin's day, as any scientific theory does, but, aside from some minor scientific challenges, the theory is still standing more than 150 years later.
What impact did Frederick Miescher discovering DNA have on the scientific world?
Frederick Miescher was responsible for discovery nuclein (later known as DNA) so bascially he started the search for what DNA was which led to discovering hereditary information and the secrets of life. So yes, a pretty important discovery!
Did Charles Mendel develop the theory of natural selection in the 1800 and not include a genetic explanation?
No. He, whoever he may have been, neither included nor considered such as far as anyone is aware. However Gregor Mendel did significant work on genetics, though he did cheat. Charles Darwin, later, proposed a theory of evolution based on natural selection. Which is not the only theory of evolution. But seems to fit the facts.
Why are mitochondria able to make their own protein?
because in the past it was an independent bacteria, which swallowed later by eukaryotic cell - according the the Endosymbiotic Theory.
Which experiments led to changes to the original cell theory?
Back then, Robert Hooke found cells from a cork and named it cells. Later on, Matthias Schleiden found cells from plant parts and concluded that all plants are made of cells. Theodor Schwann, after observing many different animal cells, concluded that all animal have cells. Several years later, Rudolf Virchow hypothesized that cells divide to form new cells. Virchow proposed that every living organism has cells. His observations and conclusions and those of others are summarized in the cell theory.
What are most of Albert Einstein's discoveries?
Albert Einstein is most known for his theory of relativity, specifically the theory of special relativity and the theory of general relativity. These groundbreaking theories revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Einstein also made important contributions to quantum mechanics and the photoelectric effect, which later led to the development of quantum theory.
What made the scientific community accept wegener's theory years later?
Alfred Wegener was the proponent of the Continental Drift Theory. The scientific community accepted this theory due to the phenomena of paleomagnetism, sea floor spreading and plate tectonics.
What is the giant impact theory?
The giant impact theory that the moon formed when Earth collided with another object named Theia that was roughly the size of Mars. The debris ejected into space later came together to form the moon.

What does the term revolution refer to?
It refers to Copernicus's idea of reconsidering the theory of the universe. Before him, no-one had thought to challenge the accepted ideas. Copernicus's theory was not totally right but he gave the lead to others and eventually a new theory was thrashed out that has been confirmed by later discoveries.
What was europeans (Columbus) impact on north America and Europe?
Columbus' personal impact on North America was zero: his discoveries were limited to Central and South America. The European's later impact on North America was of course massive through immigration, colonization, industrialization and many other things.
Is a scientific theory subject to change?
A scientific 'theory" is science shorthand for "this is how we think it works". Sometimes the theory is developed without enough information (all the variables are e not known) and later observations and information shows the theory needs to be reworked. With enough information the theory becomes a very good model of what is happening and the changes become fewer and further apart.
How did data gathered using Galileo's early telescope support the heliocentric model?
Galileo's discoveries showed faults with the old Ptolemaic theory, which had the Sun at the centre. So he was right to publicise these but not to proclaim that the heliocentric theory of Copernicus was correct. Tycho produced a geocentric theory that explained the phenomena discovered by Galileo, which were (mainly) the full range of phases dislplayed by Venus. Eventually Johannes Kepler brought out a new heliocentric theory with novel elliptical orbits for the planets. It was later backed up by Newton's theoretical discoveries and by later measurements, and it is the model used and accepted today.
When was the journal Science first published?
The journal Science was a very famous and well known scientific journal, and it led to many discoveries later on. The journal Science was first published in the year of 1880.
Why was Galileo arrested and punished for publishing his theory on the earth and the sun?
He was arrested after publishing a book that advanced the heliocentric theory (the Earth going round the Sun) as fact and not just a scientific theory. The book portrayed the Pope as an imbecile, and as Galileo had already been warned that he could not say the movement of the Earth is a fact without proof, he was put on trial for heresy. At that time there was no proof that the theory is correct and Galileo was forced to admit it and retract. In later centuries more and more scientific evidence was discovered that forced everyone to accept that the Earth is in orbit round the Sun. So in a way Galileo was right all along but he just got himself into trouble with his aggressive behaviour. He made important scientific discoveries of his own but the heliocentric theory is not on the list.
What is the scientific basis of the heliocentric theory?
Copernicus and later Galileo and Kepler. Venus was found to have phases Jupiter was found to have moons Elliptical orbits which Kepler found would later be described by gravity Start there.
Why do you use newtons physics today instead of Galileo's?
Newton had the advantage of being born later in the same year that Galileo died. He therefore had more opportunities to make scientific discoveries based on what earlier scientists had found. Newtons discoveries allowed him to explain, among other things, that the planets follow Kepler's laws through the law of gravity and the laws of motion. Other than tiny adjustments from the General Theory of Relativity, Kepler's model is the one still in use today.
