his name was Gregory Mendel and he is known as the father of genetics. mostly he got lucky that there were no codominant genes involved in his work and that each of the traits he was working with only had two possible alleles (tall vs. short etc).

Gregor Johann Mendel, 1822-84, Austrian Roman Catholic abbot of the Augustinians at Brunn, whose experimental work on heredity laid the foundation for the modern Science of Genetics.

Using the garden pea for his experiments, he was the first to employ a definite system of counting the offspring (hybrids) of the various crosses he made over a long period of time. Furthermore, he confined himself to the observation of one inherited character at a time, keeping careful records and taking great pains to assure the accuracy of his results by precise technique in the crossing of the varieties he used.

Gregor Mendel was the monk who studied the inheritance of traits in pea plants. He is often referred to as the 'father of genetics' because of these discoveries.
