We learned about genetics today at PTK. I'm really amazed by Mendel's hardwork in proving his law by planting more than 30,000 pea plant just for his research and thus used up 8 years (according to Mr. Fong) planting peas. I wondered whether his family ate all those peas just because of his work... However, he really contributes to our world.. (and then causes us have more things to study... hahahaha....)
