HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Thomas Hunt Morgan was born on September 25, 1866, at Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.A. He was the eldest son of Charlton Hunt Morgan. He was educated at the University of Kentucky, where he took his B.S. degree in 1886, subsequently doing postgraduate work at Johns Hopkins University, where he studied morphology with W. K. Brooks, and physiology with H. Newell Martin. As a child he had shown an immense interest in natural history and even at the age of ten, he collected birds, birds' eggs, and fossils during his life in the country; and in 1887, the year after his graduation, he spent some time at the seashore laboratory of Alphaeus Hyatt at Annisquam, Mass. During the years 1888-1889, he was engaged in research for the United States Fish Commission at Woods Hole, a laboratory with which he was continuously associated from 1902 onwards, making expeditions to Jamaica and the Bahamas. In 1890 he obtained his Ph.D. degree at Johns Hopkins University. ln that same year he was awarded the Adam Bruce Fellowship and visited Europe, working especially at the Marine Zoological Laboratory at Naples which he visited again in 1895 and 1900. At Naples he met Hans Driesch and Curt Herbst. The influence of Driesch with whom he later collaborated, no doubt turned his mind in the direction of experimental embryology. In 1891 he became Associate Professor of Biology at Bryn Mawr College for Women, where he stayed until 1904, when he became Professor of Experimental Zoology at Columbia University, New York. He remained there until 1928, when he was appointed Professor of Biology and Director of the G. Kerckhoff Laboratories at the California Institute of Technology, at Pasadena. Here he remained until 1945. During his later years he had his private laboratory at Corona del Mar, California.

Pasadena, California, December 4, 1945] Working mainly with the small fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, Morgan concluded that genes are arranged in a line on chromosomes and that chromosomes are present in the nucleus of every living cell. Morgan also noted occasional recombinations of inherited characteristics and proposed that this results from an exchange of genes between the two chromosomes of a pair, a process he named crossing over.

Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866-1945) Along with Bateson , the co-founder of modern genetics. An experimentalist and originally a mutationist, opposed to natural selection, Lamarckism, orthogenesis, and the chromosomal theory of inheritance. He converted to the latter and to Darwinism after 1910, discovered linkage and recombination with his "fly room" students and colleagues, and was the first to show that variation derives from numerous small mutations. Most of the "fly room" research during its glory years in the 1910s and 20s was focused on using linkage data to map genes onto the chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster, a completely novel research agenda that replaced the earlier, neo-Mendelian emphasis on creating quasi-chemical genetic formulas. In 1928 Morgan moved his team of drosophilists (including most prominently Sturtevant and Bridges) to Cal Tech. This program soon recruited Dobzhansky , continuing its leadership in the field until Bridges' death, Morgan's retirement, and Dobzhansky's departure in the late 1930's.

Thomas Hunt Morgan Thoughts For more information Early Years T. H. Morgan was born in 1866 in Lexington, Kentucky, nephew of the flamboyant General John Hunt Morgan who was nicknamed "The Thunderbolt of the Confederacy" for his swashbuckling exploits during the Civil War. Despite T. H. Morgan's aristocratic Southern upbringing, he was (prophetically) something of a mutation. Rather than preparing for the military or a venture into the family hemp business, he spent his time collecting birds, birds' eggs, butterflies and fossils. In 1880, at the age of 14, Morgan entered the Agricultural and Mechanical College (what is now the University of Kentucky) to study natural history. At that time, the college had about 300 students and 20 faculty in a regimented atmosphere to which Tom did not always adapt well. He excelled in natural history and graduated valedictorian, the only blemish on his academic career being a low grade in French, which was apparently no fault of Tom's. Professor Francois Helveti, the instructor in French and a Union soldier in the Civil War, had been captured by Tom's uncle, General Morgan, during the war and had suffered the humiliation of being forced to ride backwards on a mule from Cincinnati to Lexington. As an act of spiteful retaliation, he nearly failed Tom, the story goes. In 1886, Morgan entered The Johns Hopkins University graduate school; his eventual doctoral dissertation was entitled "

Thomas Hunt Morgan Used with permission of Maiken Naylor, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA, http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/units/sel/exhibits/stamps The Swedish stamps above offer insights into the Nobel prize winning work done by the scientists listed below: Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866-1945) was aware of Mendel's work, which had just been rediscovered, and performed his own genetic experiments, not with peas, but with fruit flies, which could reproduce rapidly and in great numbers and had only four pairs of chromosomes. He found that Mendel's Law of the independent assortment of characters was true, but that in some cases a linkage existed between characters. The extent of linkage between characters was a measure of their position, or nearness to each other, on the same chromosome. Mapping the genes and their positions in the chromosomes explained the range of Mendelian results. Morgan won the 1933 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine. Francis Crick, James D. Watson, and Maurice Wilkins determined the molecular structure of DNA as a double helix or two intertwined spirals of phosphate and sugar molecules linked by pairs of organic bases. The sequences of the paired organic bases form the genetic code of an organism. The double helix structure is an eye-catching symbol that appears on many stamps, including the Czech Mendel stamp above, and examples from Liechtenstein and Israel below.

He began cross-breeding Drosopila, but had no success for two years. Finally in 1910, he noticed a white-eyed mutant male among the red-eyed wild types . He bred this white-eyed fly with a red-eyed female. Their progeny were all red-eyed, suggesting that the white eye trait was recessive. Morgan thus named the gene
