Write contribution of scientists in the genetics
Answers
Answer:
Gregor Mendel
Also known as the father of modern genetics, Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk. He was the second child of Anton and Rosine Mendel, and was born on July 22, 1822. He came from a poor farming family, and hence had to give private tuition in order to pay for his higher education. After completing his graduation, he was admitted to the University of Olmutz, in 1840, where he completed a two-year course in the fields of maths and physics. After coming back from Olmutz, he joined the monastery and gained exposure to the experimental and research facilities there. Mendel took his further education from the University of Vienna, and found a passion for teaching. However, he failed the teaching certificate exam twice and had to return to the monastery in Brunn. There, he continued his education and taught the students in the monastery.
