It was because of Darwinism.

[@neifler]

I love this channel, and Mendel's work is fascinating, but i keep coming back to the other monks at his abby going " whats for dinner tonight? Oh thats right ... peas ..."

[@jamesbrowne1004]

I did a bit of extra digging a few years back. The references I found pointed out that Mendel wasn't as isolated as commonly reported. The abbey was a high school in the German style of sequence. Basically, it covered what would be 11th grade to college sophomore in the US system, and he was the Bio professor. One reference said that he became inspired to do his work, at least in part, after attending a conference on Darwin's new theory.

[@DaDunge]

Oh he certainly wasn't isolated in that direction it's in the reverse direction he was isolated.

[@katywilbur2989]

I vaguely remember reading that he was inspired by Darwin's work while I was studying genetics in college... another thing no one seems to mention is that "he didn't really care" (or was a monk!)

[@oskarhenriksen]

He sent a copy of his paper to Darwin, who never even opened it

Note to The Great War fans: Hank is correct to call it the Austrian empire. The Dual monarchy with Hungary wasn’t established until 1867.

[@MakeMeThinkAgain]

I wanted him to say Bohemia.

[@matousstastny3027]

Actually, Olomouc (city in the Czech Republic, where Mendel studied) is not in the region of Bohemia, but in the Moravian region.

[@AmanSharma-tg2ic]

Gregor studied seven traits of the pea plant: seed color, seed shape, flower position, flower color, pod shape, pod color, and the stem length. There were three major steps to Mendel's experiments: 1. First he produced a parent generation of true-breeding plants. He made these by self-fertilizing the plants until he knew they bred true to the seven traits. For example, the purple flowering plants always produced seeds that made purple flowers. He called these plants the P generation (for parent). 2. Next, he produced a second generation of plants (F1) by breeding two different true-breeding P plants. 3. He then produced a third generation of plants (F2) by self-pollinating two F1 generation plants that had the same traits. Mendel's Results Mendel found some incredible results from his experiments. F1 Generation Mendel found that the F1 generation all produced the same trait. Even though the two parents had different traits, the offspring always had the same trait. For example, if he bred a P plant with a purple flower with a P plant with a white flower, all of the offspring (F1) plants would have purple flowers. This is because the purple flower is the dominate trait. These results can be shown in a diagram called a Punnett square. The dominate gene is shown with a capital letter and the recessive gene with a lower case letter. Here the purple is the dominant gene shown with a "P" and the white is the recessive gene shown with a "w." P P w Pw Pw w Pw Pw You can go to this page to learn more about inheritance patterns and Punnett Squares. F2 Generation In the F2 generation he found that 75% of the flowers were purple and 25% were white. Even though both parents had purple flowers, 25% of the offspring had white flowers. This turned out to be because of a recessive gene or trait was present in both parents. Here is the Punnett square showing that 25% of the offspring had two "w" genes causing them to have white flowers: P w P PP Pw w Pw ww Homozygous and Heterozygous When two of the genes are the same (like with "PP" or "ww" above) they are called homozygous. When they are different (like with "Pw") they are called Heterozygous. Interesting Facts about Mendel and Inheritance Mendel's work was rejected by his fellow scientists while he was alive. It wasn't until later that his work was rediscovered and confirmed through further experimentation. Mendel was a monk and performed his experiments in the monastery garden. His experimentation largely ended when he was promoted to abbot. Mendel also ran experiments with honey bees, but found them much more difficult to experiment with. The idea that an offspring receives one unit of inheritance from each parent is the called the "theory of segregation." THAT TOOK AN HOUR

[@BA-sf4uw]

Great video. The only criticism I have is that Mendel's abbey in Brno was not in Eastern Europe. It is in the western half of Europe. Many call the region Central Europe. It would be enough to say that his research lab was in a monastery and in a relatively small town in Central Europe.

[@melonlord1414]

commonly, everything east from the iron curtain in the cold war is called eastern europe, so it's not uncommon to call that part of europe "eastern europe". This might not make especially much sense, especially if we talk abot something that happend way earlier, but still, you can't really call them out for using a definition that a lot of people use.

[@PizzaManager101]

Melon Lord when talking about the period, there’s a large cultural divide around the netherlands, prussia and east are usually considered eastern europe because of the presence of serfdom, nations and states being less closely associated, more agrarian lifestyles, and a stricter class divide with a landed aristocracy. And less well developed financial systems, but that’s less definitive

I hope when the time comes you focus on George’s Le Maitre’s and the primordial atom. I think it is so cruel that we call his ideas “the Big Bang” when that was originally a derogatory term for his work on the origin of the universe.

[@Mechadude32]

I think it's an awesome bit of irony. Like how Schrodinger came up with his famous thought experiment to mock quantum mechanics and now it's used as the standard example.

[@JohnnyLodge2]

@@Mechadude32 I whole heartedly disagree. Hoyle was completely wrong in his view and was mocking of Le Maitre. And now we have the loser giving a new name to the winner's idea and the winner frequently erased from the history of science he is the backbone of. It's not irony. It's just cruel.

[@aspiahmacaurog4354]

I learned more about genes. This video talks about on how organisms give traits to their descendents. Gregor Mendel give us more information and knowledge to answer the questions of our mind. While Darwin was the first person to appreciate clearly that evolution depends on the existence of heritable variability within a species to generate the differences between ancestral and descendent populations. Every child inherits genes from both of their biological parents. What a great information!

This is a revelation! Am amazed to know that Gregor Mendel studied physics yet became more interested in plants (... he should be my great grandfather! I am a Physics teacher but I love to be in a garden to attend to plants, if not, be in a ranch to attend to farm animals... ) Yet his life-long work on the English peas and the result he obtained in his studies ushered in the quantitative genetics. Hot! But he maintained to be at low profile and made popular by other researches after several decades after... Grand!

[@skylight6820]

This is a great video:) This video share us about the works of Gregor Mendel, it is good to know about the different variety of knowledge specially talking about the discoveries of our scientists. Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits. While, Darwin was the first person to appreciate clearly that evolution depends on the existence of heritable variability within a species to generate the differences between ancestral and descendant populations. We are aware that the genetics is the study of heredity. So the heredity is a biological process where a parent passes through the certain genes onto their children or offspring. Every child inherits genes from both of their biological parents and these genes in turn express specific traits. Another, great information to this day:)

[@reysiejaycuares5289]

Im so amazed by knowing about the Genes . The video talks about how organisms give traits to thier descendants. Gregor Mendel give us more infromation and knowledge to answer the question's of our minds. Mendel's wants to improve his plant breeding . De Vries was already a famous biologist for the unit of heredity and for coming up with the term "mutation". In 1901 , American economist William Jasper Spillman published his own independent high fiving of Mendel in a paper called Quantitative Studies on the Transmission of Parental Characters to hybrid offspring . The work of the first geneticists also gave rise to a controversy in the life sciences. 1910's a group of Columbia University in New York led by Thomas Hunt Morgan conducted extensive expirements on the genetics of fruit files. Thanks for this wonderful video . It really give and add me more information's about Genes and how does it work .

[@niajeon6107]

I think everyone knows Gregor Mendel through the use of the Punnet square which was taught during high school. Though Mendel wasn't recognized for his works on genetics when he was still alive , I'm glad that he is now credited for his revolutionary work that is now used by the whole world. He deserved so much the title as 'father of genetics'. His discovery helped humans to understand how genes and traits were passed down. I remember in my 9th grade where I enjoyed doing the punnet square to know the traits of organisms. I also remeber drawing chromosomes nd cell division with my classmates. I'm thankful that our teacher did not made the discussion boring and I actually had fun in learning it.

[@jeamilainidal714]

Hail to gregor mendel. He has a great discoveries. He discovered so much that could help us in knowing what's the relationship in many things. Through his work on plants he eventually discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance where in genes are part of it. It answers our many questions like why the apperance is like this and so on. Gregor mendel must be honored in discovering it because it is really make sense to the point that we eventually knows what's with it in a deeper sense. How genes passed into and passed to another is a jaw-dropping situation that only a genuise can make some conclusions.

[@ainiebaldecasa8800]

Before I am curious regarding the traits that passed down but through this I was able to gather some information. Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics because he had lot of contributions.. It was also emphasized in the video the Laws of Mendelian Inheritance, first is law of segragation which states that genes that control traits are distinct, second law of independent assortment which are genes that control different traits switch around when organism breed and lastly law of dominance which means some traits are dominance and others are recessive. It was such a amazing video that can help people to deeply know the history of genes. Thank you for the video.
