The external layer of the human skin is called the epidermis and it replaces itself approximately every 27 days through shedding, which is known as exfoliation. Only this outer or surface layer of skin is replaced during the exfoliation process.
Gregor Mendel, the Moravian Augustinian monk who founded the modern science of genetics. Mendelian inheritance is a type of biological inheritance that follows the laws originally proposed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 and 1866 and re-discovered in 1900. These laws were initially very controversial.
MENDEL'S GENETIC LAWS. Once upon a time (1860's), in an Austrian monastery, there lived a monk named Mendel, Gregor Mendel. Monks had a lot of time on there hands and Mendel spent his time crossing pea plants. As he did this over & over & over & over & over again, he noticed some patterns to the inheritance of traits from one set of pea plants to the next. By carefully analyzing his pea plant numbers (he was really good at mathematics), he discovered three laws of inheritance. Mendel's Laws are as follows:
