Gregor Mendel's Traits

116 Words1 Page

Gregor experimented things through his garden which may seem weird, but his main goal was to figure out the principles of heredity. He noticed that in pea plants different traits followed different patterns. It took him eight years to to study the edible peas. Mendel found out that dominant and recessive traits are passed from the parents to their offspring. He also found out that from each trait there is an organism that gets one gene from each of its parents. In a Punnett Square he called the white traits recessive and the purple traits dominant. Gregor Mendel is known as the “father of modern genetics.” He died of kidney disease at the age of 61.

    In The Metamorphosis, Gregor, who has transformed into a vermin, has ignored his transformation and worries about not being able to aid to his family financially. One could say that Gregor’s primary role is to fulfill the role of the financial provider in his family, as he is the only one that works. The father, however, chooses not to take this role and expects Gregor to fulfill this role. When Gregor does not meet up to this expectation, it frustrates the father, as he must begin working. This shows that the father has always been able to work, but would rather not burden himself with this task, and when Grete starts to work afterward it proves this.

    Additionally, the book modified my judgments of inheritance. Many research topics can stem out of these inherited defects with beneficial advantages for survival such as taking a part of the G6PD- deficiency gene to cure malaria. Furthermore, studying defects like hemochromatosis, diabetes, or favism may be crucial to taking a leap (and hopefully, landing) in the scientific and medical community. And we end on this quote from Dr. Sharon Moalem himself which very accurately sums up my comprehension of evolution from this book, “If you’ve come this far on our journey across the evolutionary landscape, you’ve probably gathered a good sense of the interconnectedness of — well, just about everything. Out genetic makeup has been adapting in response to where we live and what the weather’s like.
