Gregor Mendel is often referred to as the Father of Genetics.

But just what did he do to earn this honorary title?

  • Though farmers had known for centuries 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.

While Mendel never enjoyed recognition in his lifetime, in the decades following his life, scientists would verify his research and learn more about genes and the special substance called DNA that carried each living thing’s specific traits.

In this outcome we’ll examine the work he did and how his work still impacts genetics today.

Answer:

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is the father of genetics.

He:

• Founded the science of genetics.

• Identified many of the rules of heredity. These rules determine how traits are passed through generations of living things.

• Saw that living things pass traits to the next generation by something which remains unchanged in successive generations of an organism – we now call this ‘something’ genes.

• Realized that traits could skip a generation – seemingly lost traits could appear again in another generation – he called these recessive traits.

• Identified recessive and dominant traits which pass from parents to offspring.

• Established, momentously, that traits pass from parents to their offspring in a mathematically predictable way.

Mendel’s work only made a big impact in 1900, 16 years after his death, and 34 years after he first published it.
