Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master's degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree. In the late 1920s, McClintock joined several other students in a group that studied genetics. The students included a future winner of the Nobel Prize, George Beadle. Another was Marcus Rhoades. Years later, he would become a leading expert in genetics. McClintock said both men recognized the importance of exploring the connection between genes and chromosomes. McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. She also supervised genetic studies of the corn plant, or maize. She studied chromosomes, which are lines of genes. She made several discoveries about genes and chromosomes.芭芭拉麦克林托克决定在康奈尔大学学习植物学，研究植物的学问。她于1923年完成本科学习。麦克林托克决定继续她在康奈尔大学的学业。并于1925年完成研究生学位。两年之后，她完成博士生的要求。在20世纪20年代晚期，麦克林托克参加了一组学基因学的学生组成的小组。这些学生包括一位未来的诺贝尔奖得主，乔治·韦尔斯·比德尔。还有马库斯罗迪斯。多年之后，他也成为基因学的领军人物。麦克林托克表示所有人都意识到探索基因和染色体的关系的重要性。麦克林托克在完成学业后留在了康奈尔大学。并教授学生植物学。她同时指导玉米植物或称玉蜀黍的基因研究。她同时研究染色体—基因组成的线。她在基因和染色体方面有很多发现。
