How did Charles Darwin influence Gregor Mendel?
He did not influence Darwin and Darwin did not know who he was. Darwin's ' blending theory of inheritance ' was wrong and though Darwin did not particularly like the theory he could think of nothing better to explain inheritance. There is a legend that Darwin had a copy of Mendel's work in his desk but could not read it because it was in German. Just a legend, though.
What field of study did Mendel's experiments help establish?
Mendel was cross-breeding plants. His work with pea plants supported Darwin. I guess he was a plant geneticist.
When did Mendel and Darwin develop ideas together?
Mendel conducted his experiments between 1856 and 1863.Darwin created his theory of natural selection in 1838 and published On the Origin of Species in 1859.
What unifying themes brought the work of Mendel and Darwin together in the big picture of biology?
The discovery of DNA as the genetic material was the unified theme.
Why were ratios important in Gregor Mendel's work?
The ratios were important in Gregor Mendel's works he found out that there were two types of traits namely dominant and recessive.He also wanted to find out on what ratio does the dominant and recessive traits occured in living beings.
Did Darwin get to know Mendel?
Unfortunately not. Darwin's idea of how offspring inherited characteristics was wholly mistaken, Mendel's work would have been very useful support for Darwin's work but although Mendel sent a copy of his paper to Darwin, it was in German and Darwin didn't have it translated and so didn't realise it's importance.
What unifying them brought the work of mendel and and Darwin together in the big picture of biology?
The unifying theme that united the work of Darwin and Mendel was the discovery of DNA. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid.
Was Darwin influenced by Mendels ideas about genetics?
No, Darwin knew nothing about Mendel's ideas and work. His, Darwin's, heritability concept was absolutely wrong. There is a legend that Darwin had a copy of Mendel's work in his desk but could not read German. The veracity of this story is often challenged.
