Gregor Mendel was a scientist. He is known as the founder of genetics.
672 Questions
Was Gregor Mendel's theory of heredity accepted?
Mendel's work was rejected at first, and it was not widely accepted until after he died. The common belief at the time was that Darwin's theory of pangenes were responsible for inheritance. About 20 years after his death, his work was rediscovered by Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and Erich von Tschermak
How does the work of Gregor Mendel explain the rules of Heredity?
It explains the simplest form of genetic inheritance involving traits controlled by single genes having only dominant and recessive alleles.
It does not directly explain genetic inheritance involving more complex traits (e.g. multiple interacting genes, genes having many different alleles, gene suppression).
What was Gregor Mendel's proffesion's?
Gregor Mendel was a monk at an Augustinian abbey and eventually became the abbot. While a monk, he taught and bred bees as well as gardened.
What did Gregor Mendel die of?
Oh yea he's still alive today discovering new ways to breed..........NO HE'S DEAD. He died on January 6, 1884. Oh yea he's still alive today discovering new ways to breed..........NO HE'S DEAD. He died on January 6, 1884.
it made his actual results approach the results predicted by probability
What organisms do Mendel principles apply to?
all organisms.
ie. any living organism, homozygous and heterozygous
Did Gregor Mendeleev get the nobel prize?
No, he didn't receive a metal. It was said he didn't receive the Nobel prize because his discovery wasn't recent enough to be rewarded, but the true reason was they didn't want to give the prize to a Russian.
The discovery of DNA as the genetic material was the unified theme.
What is the date of gregor Mendels death?
He is DEAD. The father of genetics died about one-hundred to two-houndred years ago
Why did Gregor Mendel chose pea plants for experiment?
They could be used to produce many offspring quickly.
When did gregor Mendel graduate from Vienna?
Gregor Mendel had graduated from a high school in Florida called Miami State High.
How long after his results were published in was Mendel's work widely recognized?
more than 30 years after his death
Why did Mendel choose peas do his experiments?
Pea plants (leguminosae) have an irregular flower in which the top part of the corolla is much larger than the lower part (Hitchcock and CronquistFlora of the Pacific Northwest p228). If you haven't ever seen a pea flower, it looks much like a snap dragon bloom. This feature keeps the flowers from freely pollinating each other by wind, as they are tightly shut. If protected from pollinating insects, they will only self pollinate, or if the anthers are clipped off they can be very selectively pollinated by a person. This gave Mendel much tighter control over the crossbreeding of the plants.
What species did Mendel study inheritance in?
to study the transmission of hereditary characters and the genetic variation which is caused from generations which leads to evolution . And also the effect of the dominant genes or characters. here in this case some of the pea plants were short some tall.

The Inheritance of Traits
Why are biochemical tests so important to the laboratory work of microbiologists?
BIOCHEMICAL TESTS ARE SO IMPORTANT IN MOCROBIOLOGY BECAUSE THE TWO GO HAND IN HAND. iT IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE ABASIC WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF BICHEMISTRY TO UNDERSTAND THE WORKINGS OR GROWTH, METABOLISM AND EVEN THE DEFENCES OF MICO ORGANISMS. AEROBIC AND NON AEROBIC RESPIRATION ARE BOTH IMPORTANT IN MICRO BIOLOGY AND ARE BOTH HIGHLY IMPORTANT BIOCHEMICAL REACTION OF LIFE NOT JUST BACTERIA.
Why was Mendel not recognised until after his death?
Mendel works in year 1886, it is the same era of time when Darwin was doing his work on evoloution or natural selection. At that time Darwin theory was the second most famous after BIBLE so Mendel work was left unrecognized but was again redicovered by some scientist after 100 years. The second reason behind this is that Mendel research was more beyond the understanding of common man of that time
Tt and TT were the genotypes of the true breeding plants that Mendel used in his two factor cross.
How did Gregor Mendel influence society?
Gregor Mendel is the father of genetics. While he crossed 2 pea plants (1 yellow/round-dominant, 1 green/wrinkled-recessive; both plants are heterozygous), he saw that 9 of the offspring were yellow and round, 3 of them were green and round, 3 were yellow and wrinkled, and 1 was green and wrinkled. As shown, this is a dihybrid problem (16 squares). Monohybrid problems are very simple.
There is also incomplete dominance where a red flower and a white flower cross and produce pink flowers; this means that the offspring did not have the alleles from the parents, so the traits blended. Another type would be co-dominance where the offspring share the alleles of both parents; an example would be the roan cattle (it has both red and white colors from its parents). Multiple alleles are usually in blood types (type A, B, O). Blood type AB is co-dominant.
Today, scientists recognize Mendel's discovery of genetics; therefore, it is important people should study genetics in biology.
What personal qualities do you think Mendel must have had that helped him in this work?
He studied the characteristics like long stems and short stems. He also studied when the genes in one plant jumps a generation.
Did Gregor Mendel know about DNA?
Yes, In season 3 of Starship Galactica they stated that the starship continuom was indeed coaherted with gregor mendel,therefore making it possible for him to know about DNA, Chromosomes etc...
Which descides the F2 generation in Mendel's experiment?
three times as many tall plants as short plants
What organisms did Gregor Mendel decide to use to study trait patterns and why?
Pea plants. Specifically, Pisum savitum . Although Mendel never SPECIFICALLY stated why he chose this species to do his tests, it does has several advantages for the experiments he wanted to do:
1) It has several traits that are easy to identify.
2) Seven of these traits are independent of each other. We now know that many genetic traits of DNA life-forms are inter-linked, such that breeding two plants with one type of trait difference results in differences in other traits.
3) It's easy to breed peas with different traits amongst each other.
4) It produces offspring rapidly.
