Barbara Mcclintock.... and Michael Jordan?

I watched this movie within science class and it said that Mcclintock named something after Michael Jordan that she found.
My trainer then assigned us to write a paragraph roughly what we watched and I am including this certainty into it.

What did she name after him....
and why did she close to him so much??

I took notes on the movie, it is a short time ago that the narrator be going so fast that I didn't really entrap what he had said.


Answers:    Barbara McClintock pioneered the work on "jump genes" where a gene can fly from one chromosome to another. She worked with maize (corn) and discovered this within the 1940s. She was eventually recognizable for her achievements next to a Nobel Prize in 1983.

Cell biologists David Kirk, Ph.D., and Stephen Miller, Ph.D., enjoy named a transposon, sometimes call a 'jumping gene' after the former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan. I did not know Dr. McClintock personally, but I wager she be only languorously aware of Michael Jordan, if at all.
