    Gregor Mendel was a scientist from Moravia who became famous for founding the science of genetics. He worked with cross breeding pea plants, focusing on several different characteristics. When he found that breeding a green and yellow pea plant, always turned out with yellow colored offspring, he ended up making the terms "dominant" and "recessive". Sadly, Mendel's work wasn't found important until decades later in the 20th century, but the things he discovered are still important to us today. There are plenty of different qualities that make a good scientist, but some are more important than others.…

    Dr.George Gey is looked at by some as a selfish man who did cell culture research as a means of gaining fame and fortune at the expense of others. This is simply not true, as Dr.Gey was a truly selfless man, whose only goal was to expand the horizons of what cell culture research could bring for the better good of the human race regardless of how much money or fame he got. Dr.Gey was never a man with a silver spoon in his mouth. “According to Rebecca Skloot author of “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” when Gey was attending the University of Pittsburgh he had to stop numerous times to work as a carpenter so he could save up enough money to continue the pursuit of his studies (Skloot).…

That’s interesting and all, but the question is who is the real discover? The Double Helix was discovered by Rosalind Franklin, but she didn't understand its importance and true meaning, so all the credit goes to James Watson and Francis Crick.…

    Scientists first discovered stem cells in the early 1900s. During this discovery, the scientists discovered that some cells had the capability to turn into blood cells, a completely different type of cell. These specific types of cells were classified as stem cells. Stem cells are known as undifferentiated cells, which means they do not have a specific function yet. Stem cells, since undifferentiated, are capable of becoming a specific type of cell such as a blood cell or a muscle cell.…

    He performed this cloning on a molecular level. He took one nucleus from one egg cell and replaced it with another nucleus from another cell; he hoped to grow an embryo. He discovered these embryotic cells could self-regulate to varying degrees. The experiment was ruled successful because the cell split into two-heads and 1 tail. These discoveries made the avenue for further cloning discoveries, and much more room to improve.…

    All cells are derived from pre-existing cells - through the process of meiosis and mitosis 4. In a multicellular organism, the activity of the entire organism depends on the total activity of its independent cells 3 Significance of technological advances to developments in the cell theory Assess the impact of technology including the development of the microscope on the development of the cell theory The development of cell theory has been heavily impacted by the improvement of technology. The improvement has allowed us from first only seeing a big group of cells to being able to now see to a scale so small we can see in and around a single cell. This has allowed us to observe cells with more detail than ever before and allow us to more accurately determine what cells have what purpose and many other uses.…
