Gregor Mendel Sketch - Untamed Science

Показать описание

Gregor Johann Mendel was an Austrian Augustinian monk and scientist, who gained posthumous fame as the figurehead of the new science of genetics with his study of the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants. Mendel showed that the inheritance of these traits follows particular laws, which were later named after him. The significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century. The independent rediscovery of these laws formed the foundation of the modern science of genetics.

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.

It is generally considered a field of biology, but intersects frequently with many other life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.

The father of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar.

Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring.

He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance".

This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.

Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes.

Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population.

Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including epigenetics and population genetics.

Organisms studied within the broad field span the domain of life, including bacteria, plants, animals, and humans.

Genetic processes work in combination with an organism's environment and experiences to influence development and behavior, often referred to as nature versus nurture.

The intracellular or extracellular environment of a cell or organism may switch gene transcription on or off.

A classic example is two seeds of genetically identical corn, one placed in a temperate climate and one in an arid climate.

While the average height of the two corn stalks may be genetically determined to be equal, the one in the arid climate only grows to half the height of the one in the temperate climate due to lack of water and nutrients in its environment.

Does the reporter say at the end “reporting to you from Berlin 1864”? It sounds to me so, but the actual place was Brno. But I get that Brno is hard to pronounce for foreigners.
