Production of glycerine for making the explosive nitroglycerine - ANSWER:
Application of fermentation in World War I
Gregor Mendel - ANSWER: Proposed the presence of "units of heredity" (genes)
which formed the basis of genetics
Robert Brown - ANSWER: Discovered nucleus in cells
Friedrich Miescher - ANSWER: Reported nuclein, a compound consisting of nucleic
acid that he extracted from WBC
Heinrich Wilhelm Gottfried Von Waldeyer-Hartz - ANSWER: Coined the term
"chromosome" -an organized structure of DNA and protein present in cells
Chromosome - ANSWER: contained tightly coiled DNA
Thomas Hunt Morgan - ANSWER: Showed inheritance and the role of chromosomes
in inheritance by using fruit flies
Drosophila melanogaster - ANSWER: Fruit flies from Thomas Hunt Morgan
Thomas Hunt Morgan - ANSWER: Concluded that some traits are sex-linked, and
traits are carried on one of the sex chromosomes
Wilhelm Johannsen - ANSWER: Coined the term "gene", which was described as a
carrier of heredity
Wilhelm Johannsen - ANSWER: Coined the terms "genotype" and "phenotype"
Gene - ANSWER: Part of the DNA that codes for a characteristic
Genotype - ANSWER: Also known as genome
Genotype - ANSWER: Collection of genes, genetic constitution
Phenotype - ANSWER: Observable characteristic
The Eugenics Movement - ANSWER: Social movement based on the idea that
genetic features of human population can be improved through selective breeding and
sterilization
