Introducing Gregor Mendel, the Austrian monk who, with the help of a garden full of pea plants, discovered the concept of dominant and recessive genes and paved the way for modern genetics. We'll also dig up the dirt on a scientific scandal that has followed Mendel beyond the grave in this fun new episode of SciShow, hosted by Hank Green!

How long does it take a pea plant to flower? His experiments must have been very tedious; patience is definitely a trait of a great mind.

@TheRABIDdude 9 лет назад

Damn straight, as Hank said he spent 8 years cultivating them. What I find most impressive is that If you look at any of his data you'll see that for most of that time he was literally just doing the exact same experiments over and over again to get more accurate results. For some of his tests he recorded nearly *8,000* offspring to get an accurate ratio of green:yellow. crazy patience.

@sreejadutta1762 2 года назад

I really regret taking Mendel Lightly.. when i first studied About him back in Grade 10 not much was written about him.. But i just came to realise the true extent of his brilliance and Perseverance. Mendel is not the father of genetics only for His Brainwork but also because of his incredible patience and hardwork.. Mendel was truly Overpowered...

Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who was considered the father of modern genetics. And researched pea plants.He was born in jul 20, 1822 and sadley passed away in Jan 06, 1884 at the yung age of 61 years old Gregor Mendel as a child and teen spoke German and his parents were very poor but he lived on a farm so they did have plenty of food to eat . When he grew up his parents wanted him to work on the farm but he went to a college. And later studied peas and he discovered that there are 7 basic characters of 20,000 individual pea plants and in 1865 he published a book on peas and gardening. He was also a very religious man Mendel discovered alot of things about pea plants. He discovered genetics are hereditary by experimenting on his parents farm. He dicovered that plants have dominant and recissive genes and these determine the plants traits.Mr.Greager also found that purple flowered pea plants gene is more dominant. Mendels parients spent a lot a lot of money on young Greagers education. Mr.Greagers peers dident even understand his discoveries untell 35 after his death they started to understand his confusing work. Mendel did so many experiments he was considered the father of modern genetics.

@doublebassheeltoe 9 лет назад

ver-sook-uh oober flonzen hib-rid-en. Two important things to remember when pronouncing German words: 1) EVERY letter, including vowels at the end of words, are pronounced. An E at the end of the word just has the "uh" sound to it. 2) ......Unless there are two vowels next to each other, in which case the "first one walk and the second one talks". So, in the word fleisch, the ei makes the I sound. In the word tier, the ie makes the E sound. This is true in almost every case except for vowels with umlauts next to other vowels, in which case the pronunciation is probably something ridiculous. Speaking of umlauts (the two dots on top of a vowel), that just means you pronounce the vowel with its long sound and not its short sound. German lesson complete. Have a good day.

@jmdefault 9 лет назад

This may be a bit late but what do you mean by vowels with umlauts next to other vowels? Umlauts are basically shortened versions of "ae", "oe" and "ue". The version with the two dots is a relatively new invention. The only thing common in the German language of what you are describing is "äu" which is basically the same as "eu" :)

Hank, thanks for such a great lesson, but I wish you had gone more into the details of how tedious his experiments were.

guys... nobody will probably read this, but i just want to make this clear. Im from the czech republic, and what was then austria is not possible to put in connectin with what is austria now. austria then would be better to as an habsburk monarchy. it included what is now austria, as well as buch of other historical countries, like bohemia and hungary, and brno, was and is a capital city of moravia. people living there would not consider themseves to be austrians, but to be moravians. ( as they are still now, when they brag about brno, and talk crap about prague, and stuff ) so, you could say, that it was a part of austria, but it is inaccurate, and most of people would not get it right.. bohemians never thought about them selves as about austrians, really, never. they consider them selves to be bohemians, which was part of habsburk ( austrian ) monarchy. in fact, they would be very insulted if you would call them austrians, because they actually hated vienna, and austrians ( meaning people of historical realm of austria ) so to say that his father was austrian worker would probably really disturb him.

Later, he started explaining the dynamics of our atmosphere and found an error in a work published more than 200 years earlier, and now he has an entire atmospheric cell named after him.
