Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

Mendelian genetics provides precise mathematical equations to track the effects of natural selection in either increasing the proportion of beneficial alleles in a population or decreasing the proportion of detrimental alleles. It’s called “population genetics”.
Formulation of a theory of genes (we call it genetics) without further knowledge about the physical / chemical nature of a gene
Heredity of traits from parents to children, true for many traits
Discrimination of dominant and recessive genes
Understanding that genes are transferred in "packs" (we call them chromosomes)
