1. The field of biology has seen many important
discoveries throughout the centuries. From vaccines to theories of the
beginning and progression of life on Earth. Here are some of the famous
biologists that have made significant contributions to various areas of life.
2. Gregor Mendel (1822-1884), nationality: German.
Known for: Plant hybridizations and genetics. When he wrote “Experiments on
Plant Hybridization”, he paved the way (прокложил
дорогу) for biology students to study genetic traits in
peas. During his experiments, Gregor found that a specific trait would be
dominant over other traits in the same species. This became to be recognized as
the Mendelian inheritance (наследственность).
3. Joseph Lister (1827-1912), nationality: British.
Known for: Using antiseptics for cleaning and sterilizing wounds. Joseph Lister
was born in 1827 in the city of Upton, Essex, England where he attended the
University of London, and later in Scotland at the University of Edinburgh and
University of Glasgow. He became a surgeon (хирург) and
pioneered the work of antiseptic or sterile surgery. He used carbolic acid to
cleanse wounds and to sterilize instruments used for surgery.
4. Some of their discoveries have helped cure
diseases, perform medical procedures, and classify animals. Others have formed
the basis of the medical profession as we know it today. The many discoveries
have improved not only our understanding of history but also our quality of
living.
