Gregor Johann Mendel was born on 20 July 1822– 6 January 1884 was a scientist,Augustinian friar and abbot of St. Thomas' Abbey in Brno, Margraviate of Moravia. Mendel was born in a German-speaking family[3] in the Silesian part of the Austrian Empire (today's Czech Republic) and gained posthumous recognition as the founder of the modern science of genetics. Though farmers had known for millennia that crossbreeding of animals and plants could favor certain desirable traits, Mendel's pea plant experiments conducted between 1856 and 1863 established many of the rules ofheredity, now referred to as the laws ofMendelian inheritance.

Who was Gregor Mendel?

Gregor Johann Mendel was a scientist, Augustinian  friar  and abbot of St. Thomas' Abbey  in Brno, Margraviate of Moravia. Mendel was born in a German-speaking family in the Silesian  part of the Austrian Empire(today's Czech Republic) and gained posthumous recognition as the founder of the modern science  of genetics. Though farmers had known for millennia that crossbreeding of animals and plants could favor certain desirable traits, Mendel's pea  plant experiments conducted between 1856 and 1863 established many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance.
______________________________

What are his major contributions?

Mendel's experiments led him to make two generalizations, the Laws of Segregation and the Laws of Independent Assortment, which later came to be known as Mendel's Laws of Inheritance.

 Mendel also bred bees in a bee house that was built for him, using bee hives  that he designed. He also studied astronomy and meteorology, founding the 'Austrian Meteorological Society' in 1865. The majority of his published works was related to meteorology.

Here are some Amazing Facts about Gregor Mendel:

1. Mendel worked with seven characteristics of pea plants: plant height, pod shape and color, seed shape and color, and flower position and color.

2. Mendel showed that when a true breeding yellow pea and a true breeding green pea were cross-bred, their offspring always produced yellow seeds.

3. He published his work in 1866, demonstrating the actions of invisible “factors”, which are now called genes, in predictably determining the traits of an organism.

4. The profound significance of Mendel’s work wasn’t recognized until the turn of the 20th century with the rediscovery of his laws.

5. Erich von Tschermak, Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns and William Jasper Spillman independently verified several of Mendel’s experimental findings, ushering in the modern age of genetics.

6. Mendel was born in Heinzendorf bei Odrau in Moravia.

7. He grew up on a farm that had be
in the family for over 130 years.
