Miescher | He began working with blood cells in 1869. He discovered that white blood cells are the major components of pus from infection. He discovered nuclein was in every cell type |
Mendel | He grew pea plants to study the characteristics of genes. He discovered that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. He came up with dominant and recessive genes. |
Watson & Crick | Given credit for the double helix model of DNA. Their discovery was based on discoveries made by Franklin. Discovered the A-T, G-C pairs of DNA |
