Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Father of modern genetics, Gregor Mendel, is well known for his garden pea plant experiment in which he discovered the phenomenon of “dominant” and “recessive” traits (Orel, 1996). His experiments led him to what is known as today’s Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance: Law of Segregation, Law of Independent Assortment, and Law of Dominance (Orel, 1996). The Law of Segregation states two alleles for a heritable character separate from each other during gamete formation and end up in different gametes…

Dr. Harvey Wiley is known as the pioneer of consumer activism. He was the first at the Food and Drug Administration, where he became known as the "Father of the Pure Food and Drugs Act". Wiley was born in 1844 on a frontier farm in Indiana. He spent his adolescence years planting and harvesting crops. His father was a humble school teacher who believed that all children should have basic education. He was one of the few in his family to go to college. He excelled in medicine and received a…

ABSTRACT In this experiment we set up crosses between mutant and wildtype flies in order to find similarities to Mendel’s work with pea plants. We did this by placing females in vials with males and waiting one week. After one week we obtained the second generation and were able to observe the different phenotypes that resulted from the cross. We were able to count each phenotype under a microscope and record the number of each type. We used this data to calculate the chi square value, which…

it is related to how we receive and develop traits from our parents and what could be given to our children. The concept of genetics was started around 1856 by Gregor Mendel who conducted experiments with pea plants and established many of the rules of heredity now used in modern genetics. According to Corcos and Monaghan (1984) Mendel did not consider the two laws written by him to be laws at all but to be assumptions or a hypothesis that were later implemented as laws that we now use today. In…

Introduction Using Drosophila, the goal of this lab was to study and identify the genetics behind certain traits through to use of dihybrid crosses. With the crosses, the purpose was to find the different dominant and recessive traits in the eyes and wings of the Drosophila. Flies were used to study the genetics as opposed to other insects or animals because they are easy to mass-produce and the traits, when viewed under a microscope, are easily identifiable. The hypothesis was that the traits…

To learn more about genetics, I conducted an experiment using Reebops to model how genetics is transferred from parents to offspring. At the beginning of my experiment I conducted four hypotheses, one for each of my four crosses. I had two monohybrid crosses and two dihybrid crosses. My first monohybrid cross hypothesis, was the antenna trait being studied is autosomal and undergoes independent assortment. My second monohybrid cross hypothesis, was the body segment trait being studied is…

dedication that almost was forgotten, Gregor Mendel was named the “Father of Genetics” after he spent eight years studying pea plants and discovering the procedure of traits passed down from one generation to the next. For more than 40 years, people didn’t really pay close attention or any attention at all to Mendel's work. It wasn’t until the 20th century, Mendel's work was finally noticed which introduced new laws to understanding heredity. Gregor Mendel was born on July 20th, 1822. Where he…

not resemble their parents exactly is because of the passing down of recessive traits from parents to offspring. One reason that recessive alleles cause offspring to differ from their parents is shown an experiment conducted by Gregor Mendel. In this experiment, Mendel crossed a purebred tall plant with a purebred short plant. The resulting offspring, or the first filial generation, was entirely tall. The first filial generation was allowed to self-pollinate, and the second filial generation,…

“ Gregor Johann Mendel was born Johann Mendel on July 22, 1822, to Anton and Rosine Mendel, on his family’s farm, in what was then Heinzendorf, Austria. He spent his early youth in that rural setting, until age 11, when a local schoolmaster who was impressed with his aptitude for learning recommended that he be sent to secondary school in Troppau to continue his education.” ( information via bio.com) After Johann Graduated from the school in Troppua, he enrolled in a two year program at the…

was headquartered in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York, although it also had village established by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson in Israel since 1949 known as Kfar Chabad. Since Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson’s passing in 1950, he and his work was succeded by his younger son-in-law Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson greatly encouraged the Jews who lived in Communist states. He sent many emissaries on covert missions to sustain Judaism under…
