in math and
physics-

- Research
- 1854-began to
research the
transmission of
hereditary traits in
plant hybrids
- 1856-1863=
experiments
- Law of
Segregation=dominant
and recessive traits
passed on randomly from
parents
- Law of
Independent
Assortment= traits
were passed on
independently of
other traits from
parent to offspring.
- 1866- The
Natural Science
Society
published his
work as
"Experiments on
Plant Hybrids"
- INTERESTING FACTS
- The Gregor
Mendel Institute
(GMI) of
Molecular Plant
Biology, was
founded in 2000
- He chose
pea for his
experiments
because the
pea has a
very short
life cycle
- He also
used
Honeybees
for his
experiments
- Mendel's experiment on plants did not
receive full support from the Roman
Catholic Church. However, his university
professors and colleagues motivated him
to study more on the genetics and
inheritance traits.
- Mendel's work on genetics
initially went largely
unnoticed and his ideas
were only accepted after
his death
- He became the father of genetics because he introduced some of the basic
ideas on this topic that had been used to stablish the current genetic model
