is a branch of biology that deals with the principles of heredity and variations of living things. The core of biological science that seeks to understand the molecular and physical bases of biological diversity, the mechanisms that result from these diversities, and the principles that govern their heredity from one generation to another.

Q

This theory proposed that semen was formed everywhere in a man’s body and such semen is reflected in the characteristics of the body part where it is formed. That semen traveling through the blood vessels into the female reproductive organs. This has been accepted by many biologists of the 19th century including Charles Darwin.

proposed the Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics. The fundamental mechanism of evolutionary change.
Example: Body modifications acquired by use and disuse could be transmitted to progeny because the semen formed reflected such modification.

Q

important contribution to the science of genetics was the demonstration that the appearance of different characters in heredity followed specific laws that could be determined by counting the diverse kind of offspring produced from any particular set of crosses.

A

Gregor Mendel

20
Q

in Germany independently suggested the association of the Mendelian factors with the chromosomes by pointing to the resemblances in behavior between the two.

A

Walter S. Sutton of USA and Theodore Boveri in Germany

21
Q

They also demonstrated that each chromosome contained not one but many genes.

A

Thomas H. Morgan in 1901 and Calvin B. Bridges in 1916

22
Q

provided the information indicating that Mendel’s principles also applied to animals. Bateson coined the terms genetics, genes and alleles

A

Bateson, Sanders and Cuenot

23
Q

-English naturalist who developed the
The scientific theory of evolution by natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary studies.
-He established the role of natural variation and natural selection in evolution
- Father of Evolution

A

Charles Darwin

24
Q

-He helped discover evolution together with Charles Darwin.
-He believed that animals evolve by adapting to their environment.
-Known for independently conceiving the theory of evolution through natural selection
- Father of biogeography

A

Alfred Russel Wallace

25
Q
  • Austrian Monk, who performed extensive experiment on inheritance and genetics of sweet pea plants
  • The Father of Genetics
  • The Mendel’s laws of inheritance include law of dominance, law of segregation and law of independent assortment.
  • Identified many of the rules of heredity.
  • Identified recessive and dominant traits
    which pass from parents to offspring
A

Gregor Mendel

26
Q

Showed that DNA (not proteins) can transform the properties of cells, clarifying the chemical nature of genes.
They identified DNA as the “transforming principle” while studying Streptococcus pneumoniae, bacteria that can cause pneumonia.

A

Oswald Avery, Colin macleod, Maclyn MacCarty

27
Q

They determined the structure of DNA, and others suggested that DNA contained a genetic code. The code was discovered in the 1960’s. Crick discovered the process of transcription and translation and led to formation of the “central dogma of molecular biology”.

A

Watson and Crick

28
Q

He proposed the biogenetic law so that researchers could use the stages of embryological development to help construct evolutionary (phylogenetic) trees.
He claimed that phylogenesis, or the process by which groups of organisms diversify from one another, influenced the development (ontogeny) of embryos

A

Ernst Haekel

29
Q

He isolated “nuclein,” DNA with associated proteins, from cell nuclei.

He was the first to identify DNA as a distinct molecule.

He was the first scientist to isolate nucleic acid.

A

Friedrich Miescher
