Gregor Samsa

Gregor Mendel: A Great Scientist Gregor Mendel was a scientist, born in 1822. He lived as a monk for a long time, most of his life. He is said to be “the only one who got it more or less right.” I am going to tell about his main discoveries and life. He published his ideas in 1866, but no one believed his ideas until about 1900, over 15 years after his death. He graduated High school and went to University of Olmütz in 1840 at age 18. His family owned just a small farm, and paid a lot for…

As Eden explained, Ebenezer Howard has stated that he had combined three projects to create his scheme of Garden city (Eden, 1947). These projects are the proposal for organized migratory movement of population by Edward Gibbon Wakefield and Professor Alfred Marshall; the proposal for land tenure system by Thomas Spence and Herbert Spencer; and the model city called Victoria by James Silk Buckingham. This idea can be supported by Batchelor as he noted that Ebenezer Howard wrote his proposal for…

Genetics When it comes to genetics, a person that comes to mind is Gregor Mendel. He was a scientist and botanist who was famous for discovering the genetics in a human being, and genetics in general. He was able to conduct his hypothesis as he used pea plants to show that planting two different pea plants can make a unique offspring, or even the same two peas can create a unique offspring. When coming up with these experiments, Mendel came up with three laws, The Law of Dominance, The Law of…

like Gregor Mendel, who discovered chromosome genes. Gregor Mendel discovers why/how a person looks the way they do. Growing up, Gregor Mendel did not have much money. At first, he also studied meteorology before he studied genes Gregor entered college by age 21, when he was in school at a younger age his teachers knew that he was very smart. He also was a monk. People believe that in the library he used to study in was a secret room where all the monks would study and that is when Gregor got…

being called Gregor, Mendel changed his first name and made his original one his middle name due to becoming a monk. Many things lead up to Mendel becoming a monk, so in this biography I will be telling you about this very famous scientist who changed, created, and discovered many things. Gregor’s hometown and place of birth was Heinzendorf, Austria. His two parents were Rosine and Anton Mendel, who owned a family farm in hopes of their son inheriting what they started. As Gregor grew his…

For our table clinic we decided to research Marden-Walker syndrome. Marden-Walker syndrome is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder (3). This disease involves the oral cavity, facial features and other body parts. This disorder has distinct facial features that can allow you to differientiate this disease from others. Marden-Walker syndrome is a very rare disease. It affects males more often then females (4). There have only been twenty reported cases of this disease (4). Specific…

Purpose: The purpose of this simulation is to demonstrate how alleles work and practice the skill of figuring out what genotype is dominate based off of the phenotype of the offsprings. Background info: Fruit flies or Drosophila melanogaster work best in experiments because Drosophila melanogaster has 60% of genes that are mutated, amplified, or deleted in human diseases. Drosophila melanogaster also has a short lifespan which makes them best for quick experiments. They also mate and develop…

Gregor Mendel, also known as “ The Father of Genetics”, was born in Austria on July 22nd 1822. During most of his early childhood he lived on a farm. There he would be able to go to school. Mendel was always complimented, by his teachers, for his want to learn. Through his want to learn his schoolmaster wanted to send Mendel to a secondary school to better his education. This caused the family to be stressed with financial problems, and was a difficult experience for Mendel. He pushed through…

The offspring look like their parents because each parent gives them half of their genetic material to their children. Coupled with, the Punnett square. The Punnett square helps determine the genetic genes a child may have from their parents. In this case, both offsprings can drink milk because their mom has a dominant trait. This allows her to overpower the dad recessive trait, allowing the offspring to drink milk. We focused on Punnett squares, dominate and recessive traits in two worksheets,”…

Gregor Mendel found out that factors determine individual traits. There was no specific way to know the outcome of an offspring. He transformed art into a science by using agricultural breeding. Instead of looking at the pea plant as a whole, Mendel focused on its individual traits. Mendel concluded that each alternative form of a trait is specified by alternative forms of a gene. To follow the inheritance of genes from parent to child, Mendel first needed to be sure which genes each parent…
