Which Austrian scientist was the founder of genetics?
Genetics Genetics Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. Gregor Mendel, a scientist and Augustinian friar, discovered genetics in the late 19th-century. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene. Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but
Fred Sherman (scientist) in 2006 for "distinguished service to the field of genetics and to the genetics community." "Candida albicans" "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" Fred Sherman (scientist) Fred Sherman (May 21, 1932 – September 16, 2013) was an American scientist who pioneered the use of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model for studying the genetics and molecular biology of eukaryotic cells. He also contributed extensively to the genetics of the opportunistic pathogen "Candida albicans". In 1970 Sherman co-founded with Gerald Fink the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's course in yeast genetics and molecular biology, which for 16 years he co-taught. Sherman was elected to
