Influential People who contributed to Genetics:
James Watson:
James Dewey Watson is a Nobel Prize-winning biophysicist and researcher, who is credited with co-discovering the the double-helix structure of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in 1953 with Francis Crick. Crick and Watson’s first efforts towards learning the structure of the DNA came up with many attempts, but it eventually concluded in the spring of 1953. Their research portrayed the DNA model pulling forth the double-helical configuration, which resembled a flexible ladder. Their research also showed how the DNA molecule could duplicate itself, which eventually answered one of the most brought-up fundamental questions in the field of genetics. Both Crick and Watson had the honor to publish their discoveries in “Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid” in April-May 1953 to great acclaim and praise.
Johann Gregor Mendel: …show more content…
He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits. He recognized the mathematical patterns of inheritance from one generation to the next. Mendel’s Laws of Heredity stated that each inherited trait is defined by a gene pair, genes for different traits are sorted separately so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of the other, and that an organism with alternate forms of a gene will express the dominant
