“GREG MENDEL “

Mendel had a garden

There's so many different pea plants
They had different kinds of seeds
Some green and some were yellow
Then he thought, Oh my gosh, different traits
He found heredity, he makes me wanna say
Oh, oh, oh, Greg Mendel

Oh, oh,He makes me wanna say

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,)

Mendel made a wise decision when he chose to study peas

They are either really t-t-tall or short, and droppin' low
Mendel crossbred pea plants they were either tall or small
Parent Generation; this is what he called them
All of the plant offspring were tall, tall, tall
He was so surprised he said, Wow, oh, wow
Then F-Generation, pollinated themselves
Tall, tall, tall, Small, But how could that be 'cause
None of the parents were small
Then he checked for other traits
Color, seed coat, and all, and all, and all
It's dominant, recessive genes
Alleles control inheritance
Let's set up a Punnett Square
Genetic possibilities
Phenotype is physical, visible
But Genetic Mix is Genotype,
He makes me wanna' say
Oh, oh, oh,
Greg Mendel

Oh, oh, oh,He makes me wanna say

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh), He makes me wanna say, Oh, oh,

Mendel had a garden

There's so many different pea plants
They had different kinds of seeds
Some green and some were yellow
Then he thought, Oh my gosh, different traits
He found heredity, he makes me wanna say
Oh, oh, oh,…….
Greg Mendel

Oh, oh, oh Greg Mendel

Johann Gregor MendeL- BIOGRAPHY

Gregor Johann Mendel was born on July 22, 1822, in what is now Hyncice, Czech Republic. He
entered a monastery in what is now Brno, Czech Republic, and performed a famous and
important series of breeding experiments while at the monastery. Mendel died on January 6,
1884, in Brno. Mendel is often referred to as the father of genetics because his work set the
foundation upon which modern biology, and especially genetics, is based. Numerous scientists
during Mendel's time were studying the heritability of various traits. However, much of this
science was descriptive and qualitative. Mendel's work, as reported in 1866, differed from that
of others in four major ways: (1) his choice of material, (2) his careful observations, (3) his
mathematical approach to the analysis of the data, and (4) his inductive leap used to explain his
results.

A talented student, Mendel graduated from his gymnázium (“Czech” grammar school) in Opava
in 1840 with excellent marks and, despite his family’s financial problems, he studied philosophy
for two years in Olomouc. In the end, he coped with the complicated situation and questions of
financial provision during his studies by entering the Augustinian Monastery in Brno. In 1843, he
accepted the monastic name Gregor and, after finishing his theological studies, carried on
studying natural sciences at university in Vienna. When he returned, Johann Gregor Mendel
became a physics and science teacher at the German technical secondary school in Brno. He
began engaging himself in the study of botany and meteorology. He carried out experiments
with crossbreeding plants (peas) and carefully noted everything he learned. On basis of these
notes, he determined a set of rules clarifying heredity, which are known today as the laws of
Mendelian Inheritance.

He published the results of his experiments in his book Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden
(Experiments on Plant Hybridization) in 1866. However, his work did not raise much interest at
the time and was forgotten. He sadly only gained the title as the “father of genetics” due to his
experiments with peas after his death.

Mendel was engaged in a wide range of natural sciences from crossbreeding, arboriculture or
pomology to astronomy and apiculture. He carried out regular meteorological observations for
the Meteorological Institute in Vienna from 1862 until succumbing to illness. Nine out of the
thirteen Mendel publications are concerned with meteorology. 

Mendel’s contribution to biology was recognised after his death, at the beginning of the 20th
century (he died in 1884 at the age of 62). Not only did he set the basis of genetics and define
the principles now known as the laws of Mendelian Inheritance, he was also the first to use
biostatistic methods in his work. A museum, university, square in Brno and the first Czech
science station in Antarctica all bear his name.

Gregor Mendel developed the theory of inheritance and heredity. Mendel expirimented with the
garden pea plant. First he pollinated short pea plants with tall pea plants. The next generation of
pea plants resulting from the expiriment were all tall pea plants. He bred two of the pea plants
from thhe new generation and they ended up having 3 tall pea plants and 1 short pea plant.
There seemed to be two different traits. One trait seemed to appear in every generation, this
was called the dominant trait. One trait seemed to disappear; this was known as the recessive
trait. Mendel discovered this, though his discoveries weren't discovered until 1900. 

Nephritis (kidney inflammation). Mendel died in 1884. After his death, all his works and papers
on genetics were burnt by his abbot. "My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification;
and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of
my work." ~ Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)

Gregor Johann Mendel

 Austrian monk

 Studied the inheritance of traits in pea plants

 Developed the laws of inheritance

 Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century
  Between 1856 and 1863, Mendel cultivated and tested some 28,000 pea plants

 He found that the plants' offspring retained traits of the parents

 Called the “Father of Genetics"

3 laws of heredity formulated by gregor mendel?

Mendel's first law (also called the law of segregation) states that during the formation of
reproductive cells (gametes), pairs of hereditary factors (genes) for a specific trait separate so
that offspring receive one factor from each parent. Mendel's second law (also called the law of
independent assortment) states that chance determines which factor for a particular trait is
inherited. Mendel's third law (also called the law of dominance) states that one of the factors
for a pair of inherited traits will be dominant and the other recessive, unless both factors are
recessive. See more at inheritance.

Genetic Terminology

 Trait - any characteristic that can be passed from parent to offspring

 Heredity - passing of traits from parent to offspring

 Genetics - study of heredity
