Please find below a brief summary of the history of Gregor Mendel:
- Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who conducted experiments in his garden to uncover the fundamentals of genetics.
- Mendel is widely regarded as a pioneer in the field of genetics because his observations served as the basis for contemporary genetics and the study of heredity.
- Plant height, pod shape and color, seed shape and color, flower location and color—these are the seven pea plant traits that Mendel studied.
- Mendel demonstrated, for instance, that cross-breeding a true-breeding yellow pea with a true-breeding green pea resulted in offspring that always produced yellow seeds. However, the green peas returned in the following generation at a ratio of 1 green to 3 yellow.
- Mendel first used the phrases "dominant" and "recessive" to describe various qualities.
- Mendel's work was not fully appreciated until the turn of the 20th century (more than three decades later), when his laws were reintroduced.
- The modern era of genetics began in 1900 with the independent confirmation of some of Mendel's experimental findings by Hugo de Vries, Erich von Tschermak, and Carl Correns.
