Gregor Mendel

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

When I died I was still getting recognized and credited for my discoveries. Carl Correns, Erich von Tschermak-Seysenegg, and Hugo de Vries helped me with that.

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

The Law of Independent Assortment states that each pair of alleles assort independently of the other allele. One trait does not influence the inheritance of another trait- the results are random.

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

The Law of Segregation is when a sperm or egg carries one allele for each gene because the two allele pairs separate during meiosis.

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

The Law of Dominance is when there is at least one dominant trait present that dominant trait is expressed. If there are no dominant traits (two recessive genes) the recessive trait will be exposed.

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

As I said before I created three laws. The Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment.

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

So in conclusion, I figured out everything every scientist now knows about genetics with dominant and recessive genes just from a vegetable. #itallstartedwithpeas

I was inspired by Franz Unger to create everything I did so you can thank him for everything I did!!

#genetics were my life☹️. It’s sad that nobody listened to my work until I died.

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

I recorded their size, color, height, shape, and plant color. I named visible traits as #dominanttraits and hidden traits #recessivetraits.

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

Everyone knows me because of the pea experiment I primarily used for my researches

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

#Mendelslaws were created by me in my study with genetics

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

I studied heredity in the college I went to, University of Olmütz. I now work as a biologist that focuses on genetics and heredity.

[Gregor Mendel @officialgregmen]

I was born in Heinzendorf Bei Odrau in 1822 and I died 1884.

Hello my name is Gregor Mendel. I am #fatherofgenetics.

[Bill Nye @BillNye]

While here on Earth, Dr. Hawking made pondering the cosmos and our place within it commonplace. The extraordinary became everyday. Although his time was brief, his work changed the world.

"Bill Nye: Science Guy" comes to @POVdocs tomorrow, April 18th. Don't miss it if you can. https://t.co/awtbZea0z0
