1857Gregor Mendel
An Austrian monk, began withexperiment of pea plant and becomethe Father of Genetics
Mendel picked common garden peaplants for the focus of his researchbecause they can be grown easily inlarge numbers and their reproductioncan be manipulated. Pea plants haveboth male and female reproductiveorgans. As a result, they can either
self-pollinate themselves or cross-pollinate with another plant. In hisexperiments, Mendel was able toselectively cross-pollinate purebred plants with
particular traits and observe theoutcome over many generations. This

1859 CharlesDarwin
Published on the origin of specie andNatural selection , that explain unit ofHeredity and variation of specie.He established that all species of lifehave descended over timefrom common ancestors and proposedthe scientific theory that this branchingpattern of evolution resulted from aprocess that he called natural selection,in which the struggle for existence has
a similar effect to the artificialselection involved in selective breeding.

NaturalSelection
There is variation within population
traits are passed from parent tooffspring.
Some variation are favorable
More young produced in generationthan can survive
Those that survive and reproduce
are those with favorable variation.
Over enormous spans of time smallchange accumulate and populationchange.

that of a twanging clock spring Bell'sgreatest success was achieved onMarch 10, .1876, marked not onlythe birth of the telephone but thedeath of the multiple telegraph aswell. The communications potentialcontained in his demonstration ofbeing able to "talk with electricity"far outweighed anything that simplyincreasing the capability of a dot-and-dash system could imply.

A German physicist who discoveredX-rayWorking electric discharge on glasstube that was faint glow on nearbyscreen. These rays were invisible andcould pass through materials.
On 8 Nov, 1895, Wilhelm ConradRntgen (accidentally) discovered animage cast from his cathode raygenerator, projected far beyond the
possible range of the cathode rays(now known as an electron beam).Further investigation showed that therays were generated at the point ofcontact of the cathode ray beam onthe interior of the vacuum tube, thatthey were not deflected by magnetic

A German polar researcher,geophysicist and meteorologist. He proposed the continental drifttheory.The theory of continental drift wassuperseded by the theory of platetectonics, which builds upon and betterexplains why the continents move. Based on fossils and Glacier.Evidence for the movement ofcontinents on tectonic plates is now
extensive. Similar plant andanimal fossils are found arounddifferent continent shores, suggestingthat they were once joined. The fossilsof Mesosaurus, a freshwater reptilerather like a small crocodile, found bothin Brazil and South Africa

1928AlexanderFleming Scottish biologist and pharmacologist.
Accidentally discovered that a mold(penicillium notatum) growing on a
petri-dish inhibited bacteria growth. Heconcluded that the mold had produceda compound which he calledpenicillin.
Back from vacation, Fleming wassorting through the long unattendedstacks to determine which ones couldbe salvaged. Many of the dishes hadbeen contaminated. Fleming placedeach of these in an ever growing pile in
a tray of Lysol.While picking up one particular dish toshow Pryce, Fleming noticed somethingstrange about it. While he had beenaway, a mold had grown on the dish.

Using cardboard cutoutsrepresenting the individual chemical
components of the four bases andother nucleotide subunits, Watsonand Crick shifted molecules aroundon their desktops, as though puttingtogether a puzzle. They were misled
for a while by an erroneousunderstanding of how the differentelements in thymine and guanine(specifically, the carbon, nitrogen,hydrogen, and oxygen rings) wereconfigured.

energy transfer. The AbioCor runs ona rechargeable source of power. The internalbattery is charged by a transcutaneousenergy transmission (TET) system, meaningthat no wires or tubes penetrate the skin and
therefore there is less risk of infection.Because of its size, this heart is onlycompatible with men who have a largeframe. It has a product life expectancy of 18months
