Rosalind Franklin was an English chemist who in 1951‚ started working on on studying DNA by using a technique called X-ray diffraction. Her expertise was the X-ray diffraction mostly of proteins and lipids in a solution on DNA fibers. Franklin and a student‚ Raymond Gosling‚ took pictures of DNA and made the observation that there are two forms of DNA; the “A” form‚ which is dry and the”B” form‚ which is wet. One of their pictures of this observations‚ known as Photograph 51‚ became famous and was

this is natural selection. Darwin also believed that certain behaviours were evolved. Gregor Mendel was another biologist who added to the approach. He was studying pea plants when he discovered that genes come in pairs‚ one from each parent. These genes determine our physical and behavioural characteristics. For example if one parent has a short temper then the child could inherit this. The work of Mendel and Darwin helped explain

Darwin . He explains that ‚ human nature and human behaviour are all natural . By this ‚ Darwin proposed that humans acted out of natural tendencies or instincts which are dictated by nature through ``genetic make up ’ as later discovered by Gregor Mendel . However ‚ this kind of thinking was later on rejected through the knowledge of the role of ``nurture ’ which is a shaping a persons behaviour or attitudes and perspectives through cultural context . This idea was first instituted by John Watson

By employing methods such as forced sterilization‚ marriage prohibitions‚ and intelligence tests‚ scientists sought to craft solidarity and purity of genes in American Society.

The Scientific Process is commonly represented as a linear process‚ but is better represented by a web or cyclic process because there is no distinct beginning or end. The cyclic process shows that there is no pattern to the process of science‚ and that one discovery can lead to a whole new process. Scientists can’t precisely predict exactly where their research might take them. The linear process shown in textbooks does not accurately portray the Scientific Method. It only shows one distinct path

Abstract According to Mendel¡¦s Law of Segregation‚ phenotypic ratios may be influenced by dominance of one allele compared to another. When an organism produces its gametes by meiosis‚ the alleles separate. This is Mendel¡¦s First Law-the Law of Segregation. This experiment investigated the effects of complete and incomplete dominance on the behavior of two different genes for chlorophyll production in tobacco. Two sets of approximately 50-100 tobacco seeds were planted for one week. The plants

A scientist is logical and systematic Example: Among the reasons why Gregor Mendel discovered the principles of heredity when others have failed was his logical experimental methods and his careful and accurate record keeping. 3.
