Question

Who is called the "Father of Genetics"?
1. Einstein
2. Mendel
3. Pasteur
4. Darwin
5. Wright

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Mendel

The correct answer is Mendel.

• Gregor Johann Mendel is called the "Father of modern genetics".
  • He discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance (1865), from his work on pea plants for seven years.
  • He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent.
  • The Mendel's laws of inheritance include the law of dominance, the law of segregation, and the law of independent assortment.

Einstein	Albert Einstein, German physicist, and mathematician who developed the special and general theories of relativity. He is famous for his theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, gravity, and the universe.
Pasteur	Louis Pasteur was a French scientist, he is sometimes called the father of microbiology and the father of germ theory. He is famous for developing the pasteurization process. He developed the first vaccines for rabies.
Darwin	Charles Robert Darwin, a British naturalist, and biologist knew for his theory of evolution and his understanding of the process of natural selection. In 1859, he published his landmark book, On the Origin of Species. Darwin’s theory of evolution and the process of natural selection later became known simply as “Darwinism.”
Wright	The Wright brothers were also known as Will and Orv, The Bishop's boys. Inventors and pioneers of aviation. First motor-operated aircraft designed (1903).

• One equation from Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is E=mc².
  • In this formula, "c" is the speed of light (constant). It is assumed to be the fastest speed possible in the universe. This formula explains how energy (E) is related to mass (m).
• Bose-Einstein Condensate - Together with another scientist, Satyendra Bose, Einstien discovered another state of matter.
  • Sort of like liquid or gas or solid states.
  • Today this discovery is used in cool stuff like lasers and superconductors
• Pasteurization is a heat-treatment process that destroys pathogenic microorganisms in certain foods and beverages. It is used for preserving goods such as beer, milk, and cream.
