Dominant Memes

Behold, the father of genetics cradling his experimental subjects! Gregor Mendel's legendary pea plant breeding experiments just got a pigeon makeover. Instead of meticulously cross-pollinating actual peas, here he's holding two pigeons labeled as his famous test subjects. The man literally spent eight years counting 29,000 pea plants to discover dominant and recessive traits, and we're memeing him with birds. Biology students everywhere are cackling while having flashbacks to Punnett squares. That moment when you realize your entire genetics education boils down to "yellow pea smooth, green pea wrinkly" and some monk's gardening hobby from the 1860s!

When biology class takes an unexpected turn! This student confused genetic terminology with, um, other kinds of dominance! In genetics, the correct answer would be "recessive" - those traits that get masked when paired with dominant genes. But instead, they blurted out "submissive" and created what might be the most awkward classroom moment in biology history! The teacher probably needed a moment to recover from that one. Genetics vocabulary and dating vocabulary: two different worlds that should never collide during class presentations!
