I am the father of genetics by Genetics
from my work with pea
plants.

Crick
Theodor
Schwann
1928 –
1916-2004
I coined the term “cells” by
looking at cork in the
microscope.
Together we determined the
double helix shape of DNA.
Cell theory;
after defining
term cell
DNA –
replication
1810-1882
I was first to look at animal
cells underneath the
microscope
Matthias
Schleiden

Francesco
Redi

Louis Pasteur
1822-1895
I developed the theory of
natural selection and I am
known as the father of
evolution
I invented the first simple
light microscopes in the
1700s; father of
microbiology; first to see
animal-like protist and called
them animalcules
I disproved the idea of
spontaneous generation by
using covered and uncovered
jars of rotting meat.
I supported the idea of
biogenesis by my curved

1934-
flask experiment. My name
is a process to keep milk
fresh.
I hypothesized that life
originated in the early
oceans.
We found that methane,
ammonia, hydrogen gases
from early earth charged
with electricity can form
amino acids
I created the system of
binomial nomenclature using
Latin.
I am the scientist who
erroneously came up with
the idea that traits are
acquired from animals from
their use or disuse.
I am one of the first to see
the cell structure for cell
division
I wrote 'Silent Spring',
blowing the whistle on
pesticides in our
environment
I found that by combining
amino acids and electrical
current I could create
protocells.
I am the head of many
cancer associations & head
researcher.
I invented a blood
preservation technique still
used today.
I am a researcher +
primatologist studying
African apes.

I worked with Darwin on my Evolution
own studies of populations.
His experiments with gravy Origin of Life
and tainted wheat seemed to
prove spontaneous
generation; it was found
much later that his method
allowed microscopic
organisms to enter the gravy
or wheat thus invalidating
the theory
first to claim the
endosymbiont nature of
mitochondria and
chloroplasts with a handful
of conclusive evidence
