1822, Mendel was born in a poor peasant family in German-speaking Silesia, Austria. His childhood name was John Mendel, and he was the only boy among five children. His hometown is known as the "Flower of the Danube", and everyone in the village loves gardening. A man named Schreiber once started a fruit tree training class in his hometown to guide local residents to cultivate and graft different plant varieties. He was deeply impressed by Mendel's extraordinary intelligence. He persuaded Mendel's parents to send the boy to a better school to continue his studies. 1833, Mendel entered a middle school. 1840, he was admitted to a philosophy school. In college, he was almost penniless, and he had to go to school frequently. 1843, after graduating from college, 2 1 entered the monastery, not because he was inspired by God, but because he felt "forced to take the first stop in life, so as to free himself from the pain of struggling for survival". Therefore, for Mendel, "the environment determines his career choice".
1849 He got a chance to be a middle school teacher. However, in the 1850 teacher qualification examination, his performance was terrible. In order to "at least be competent as a primary school teacher", his monastery sent him to Vienna University according to an education order, hoping that he could get a formal teacher diploma.
In this way, Mendel was allowed to study in Vienna University, and spent four semesters from 185 1 to 1853. During this period, he studied physics, chemistry, zoology, entomology, botany, paleontology and mathematics. At the same time, he was also influenced by outstanding scientists, such as Doppler and Mendel as his physics demonstration assistants; Another example is Howard Johnson Yi Ting, a mathematician and physicist. There is Engel, who is an important figure in the development of cell theory, but was attacked by the priest for denying the stability of plant species. Mendel may have learned from him that cells are regarded as the structure of animal and plant organisms. Engel is the best biologist Mendel has ever seen. His view on heredity is concrete and practical: the law of heredity is not determined by spiritual essence, nor by vitality, but by real facts. Mendel was also deeply influenced by Engels in this respect.
1853, 3 1 year-old Mendel returned to the monastery in Brno. At the same time, I have the opportunity to teach in a newly established technical school in Brno. It was about this time that Mendel decided to devote his life to specific experiments in biology.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/854, Mendel started his work with thirty-four pea strains. 1855, and continue to test their invariance when transmitting characteristic traits. 1856, he started a series of famous experiments, and the result of the eight-year experiment was 1865, the paper "Plant Hybridization Experiment" read in Bloom Society of Natural History. This paper was published in 1866. It was this paper that was completely ignored at that time and was excavated in the future, which laid the position in Mendel's genetic history.
1868, Mendel was elected as the abbot, and the management deprived him of time and energy for scientific research. To Mendel's contemporaries, this educated old monk seems to be killing time in some stupid but harmless ways. 1On June 6th, 884, Mendel died of chronic kidney disease. His successor burned his personal documents. So we have little direct knowledge of Mendel's original materials or inspiration.
