Throughout the span of time there have been many great scientists. Thomas hunt has stood out through his practice and was one of the scientists to help create the chromosome theory of heredity. Morgan was in school for the majority of his life either as a student or as a professor. He also helped the world understand more about genetics in a very proactive way.
Thomas Hunt Morgan was born on September 25, 1866 in Lexington, Kentucky. He died on December 4, 1945 in Pasadena, California at age 79. He loved to find and look at organisms he found in the countryside when he was younger. Morgan is famous for creating the chromosome theory of heredity. Before the theory the world knew about Darwin and the evolution of animal species, Mendel and
I believe that Rosalind Franklin deserved more credit than she got foe her X-ray crystallography. Watson took photo 51 from her file without ther knowledge which showed that DNA has a definite pattern and two strands. Watson and Crick used the photo for their own personal gain instead of giving Rosalind any credit they saw Rosalind as below them so they had no issue stealing her idea.
James Watson is an extremely famous molecular biologist, zoologist and geneticist. He is best known for his co- discovery of DNA with fellow scientists Rosalind Franklin and Francis Crick.
Thomas Hunt Morgan born September 25 1866 in Lexington, Kentucky was an American geneticist, among other things such as an evolutionary biologist and embryologist. Born to Charlton Hunt Morgan and Ellen Key Howard Morgan. Even as a child, Morgan was interested in natural history, he was often found outside observing, exploring and collecting objects in the wild as well as fossils. Morgan died in December 4, 1945.
From humble beginnings, migrating to Winnipeg from Scotland with his family in 1919, Thomas Clement Douglas rose to become one of Canada’s most revered politicians. Initially as a Baptist Minister in Weyburn, Saskatchewan seeing the sick and the old suffer greatly under capitalism, particularly during the Great Depression, Douglas wanted to do more for them than he felt he could as a pastor.
Many scientists have contributed in the biomedical science field. A scientist is one who uses the scientific method. Percy Julian is one of them; he was African-American research who opened an era of research in chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs such as cortisone, steroids and birth control .At his age, he was not allowed to enroll in high school as he was the grandson of former slaves. He applied in many universities and later he was being accepted at DePauw University in Indiana where he had taken extra classes for his higher school level topics in the evening to get him up to the academic level of his colleagues. These all were challenges for him and he graduated first in class .After the university, he started working as a chemistry
In the late 1940’s Thomas Jukes’ curiosity got the best of him, when fishermen noticed the fish near Orangetown, New York, had been growing at an increasingly high rate. Normally fisherman wouldn’t be complaining about the catch being large, but the new factory nearby was suspected to somehow have caused this dramatic change. At first Jukes believed this phenomenon was caused by exposure to an excessive amount of vitamin B12, which was seeping into the water supply from a nearby pharmaceutical laboratory. However, when Jukes teamed up with Robert Stokstad they determined that the mystery growth factor had been caused by the production and waste discharge of a new antibiotic developed in the laboratory called tetracycline. The new antibiotic was used to treat infections, thus altering the way calories were being used inside the animals bodies. The calories normally used by the immune system were now being consumed to increase bone size and muscle mass.
In 1904 Morgan married Lilian Vaughan Sampson, who would often assist him in research. They would go on to have one son and three daughters together. Also in 1904, he would be invited to Columbia University to serve as the Professor of Experimental Zoology. Morgan died on December 4th, 1945 (Nobel Prize, 2015).
Gregor Johann Mendel was an abbot at the St. Thomas’ Abbey in Brno, in the modern day Czech Republic. He is credited as being the father of genetics because of his work crossbreeding pea plants in order to favor certain traits such as height, color, and pod shape. He worked in the late 1850’s to the early 1860’s. Even though farmers had been doing this similar practice for centuries, his experiments established many of the heredity rules we now refer to as Mendelian inheritance. Around this time another theory of genes was coming out from a man by the name of Sir Francis Galton. Galton is credited as the “Father of Eugenics” and is also known for the popular phrase “Nature vs Nurture”. Galton studied the upper class in Great Britain and believed came to the conclusion of their “superior genetic makeup” was
Frequently, when people think about a scientific breakthrough or discovery, they tend to forget about the person behind it. If you ask someone about the newest technological advancement, most people will be able to tell you about or have an opinion. But, if you ask them about the scientist or researcher behind it, their knowledge becomes severely lack luster. People forget that scientists are real people too, they have real people emotions, real people dreams, and real people problems. They are their own individuals who have developed their own characters, which turned them into the amazing scientists they became.
As hard as is it is today for women to succeed in the sciences, one must give kudos to those that came before us. These are the women that paved the way for today's generation of women scientists. One such woman is Rosalind Elsie Franklin, a chemist who had a great impact on the modern day field of genetics.
Great novels are those that, despite their length, offer a multitude of ways in which readers can understand, interpret and emote with them. “ A woman alone with her soul,” can be interpret as having a deeper psychological meaning, but one can also accept the credibility of the literal surface meaning of the words. These three sentences are filled with more questions than they are answers. Thomas Bailey is known to surprise readers as he generates suspense and mystery when he composes the novels. Thus, leaving the reader with questions that cannot be answered just visualized. An analysis of Thomas Aldrich Bailey short story reveals three major parts: the setting, the character and the plot.
Lewis Henry Morgan was an American anthropologist and a principal founder of scientific anthropology. He worked during the mid to late 19th century. Morgan was born on November 21, 1818 in Aurora, New York and died on December 17, 1881 in Rochester, New York. He went to Cayuga Academy in Aurora before going to Union College from which he graduated in 1840. He then studied law in his home town of Aurora. Morgan worked as an attorney in Rochester, where he lived for most of his life. He then served on the New York State Assembly from 1861 to 1868, and the Senate from 1868 to 1869. Despite his professional career being that of an attorney, Morgan is best known for his work in anthropology. His most lasting legacies are the establishment of the
People always claim they know what a legend is; there are stories that are legends and there are people who are legends. A person who is a legend has certain characteristics such as doing what everyone thought was impossible, they don’t take the road less traveled they take the road never before traveled (Waters, 2012). A legend is remembered for a long time after they are gone and admired by so many (Waters, 2012). A legend is also something or someone who inspires others for years to come. That legend is talked about long after its time has passed. When you think of a legendary movie you remember the inspirational parts and the parts that really left a lasting impression. People become legends when they do something extraordinary
The urging of his professor led him into a life long career he loved. George wasn’t the only one experimenting with genes. His partner, Edward Tatum, and Beadle together studied the bread mold and mutations with x-rays. Together they also won the Nobel Prize in 1958.
Another man who contributed greatly to the study of genetics, was an American biologist by the name of Thomas Hunt Morgan. He studied the ways that characteristics were passed from one generation of fruit flies to the next. He learned that the genes in fruit flies behaved in the same way as the genes in pea plants. He also noticed that certain genes were inherited together more often than random chance should allow.
