Does it really matter if you talk about 4 people?
I talked about Mendel, Sutton, Boveri and Thomas Cunt Morgan

Q was something along the lines of "Biological knowledge is advanced by scientists testing ideas in different times with current technologies. scientist's explanations are then either modified or verified.

Justify this statement with reference to THREE scientists in regards to inheritance."


^ was something like that but not exactly.


I used Mendel and said shit about factors and independent assortment, etc and the monohybrid ratio. Then i was like "morgan demonstrated that the monohybrid ratio doesn't apply to sex linked genes as there is a bias towards males being affected" and then was like it was modified. Then I talked about Sutton/Boveri who demonstrated mendel's laws and that chromosomes carried the factors (i.e. they verified what mendel said).


I ended up talking about 4 but who the fuck cares i am too kewl 4 skewl

Mendel and Sutton and Boveri..

As an idiot I am, I didnt read the stupid question so I wrote the 2 scientist(sutton and boveri) then at the last minute and my awesome english stn skills I wrote about Mendel at the end.

and the technology I used was that Sutton and Boveri had gain the aid of microscopes to observe chromosomes..

and that mendel didnt have an technology at this time..

The question specifically asked for 3 students.

Those who wrote about 4 or more would have long responses which would probably lose a mark for not being succinct
