Question

Briefly describe the contribution each of the following people made to the development of genetics or genetic analysis.

Rudolph Virchow

Accepted Answer

Welcome back. Let's look at our next problem. It says, who was the scientist that was part of the group credited with the cell theory? Let's recall from our content video, what cell theory is sort of this foundational theory of biology and self theory has sort of three parts. The first one saying all organisms are made of cells. Number two cells are the basic unit of life. And number three, all existing cells are produced by other living cells. So those are those three components. And we want to think about which scientists as part of the group that's credited with discovering this and that would be choice be Rudolph virtue. The other two members of this group were a swan and slider virtue in particular is credited with the observation that all existing cells come from other living cells. So let's look at our other answer choices to understand why they're not correct. Um The one that you might mix up with is choice D Robert Hooke because he was the first person to observe cells under a microscope. So he was looking at a section of cork and saw these little box like cells made him think of cells in a monastery which is where he got the name from. Um But he didn't yet understand how cells functioned. So he kind of first person observed those cells and then Virtue Swan and Slider went on to explore them as that basic unit of life and how they came about. But that's why Robert Hooke is not our correct answer. So we'll cross out choice d choice. A William Bateson studied organisms variation within the framework of evolutionary theory. So essentially combining the ideas of Mendel and Darwin to form the very field of genetics. But our question is asking for who was the discoverer or um inventor of cell theory. So that's why choice A is not correct. And then finally, choice. See Rosalind Franklin. Rosalind Franklin was the one that created the S X ray crystallography images of the structure of DNA. And her images allowed Watson and Crick to develop the double helical model of DNA, but not cell theory. So not our correct answer. So again, who was the scientist part of the group credited with the cell theory? Choice? Be Rudolph Virtue. See you in the next video.
