SJU Genetics Research and Gregor Mendel Discussion – Description
Gregor Mendel is considered to be the father of genetics and his laws of Dominance, Segregation, and Independent Assortment are still applied today, but he wasn’t the first to dive into the field of genetics and he surely was not the last
For this discussion assignment, investigate any genetics research that occurred prior to Mendel’s work being released to the scientific community.
Did Mendel ever use the word “gene”? If not, who first coined that term?
Was Mendel’s work embraced when it was released or criticized?
What is the Modern Synthesis and how does it involve Mendel’s work?
Where have we gone since Mendel, how far have we gone in the land of genetics, and what does the future hold?
