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.

What well known process was important in developing both Mendel's and Darwin's idea's?
cloning
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 is one line of evidence supporting evolution that scientists learned after Darwin's book was published?
How genetic heritability works. Look up Gregor Mendel.

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.
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.

How did Mendel explain his theory's apparent conflict with Darwin's recent accepted theory of evolution.... What did he mean?
He was at a meeting in his home country and he was explaining his laws of heredity when someone mentioned that this was contra-Darwin. Mendel stood his ground and said Darwin was wrong here. Darwin had a mechanism of heredity that was pure speculation ( and he admitted that ) and very wrong. Mendel, mathematically and experimentally showed the laws of inheritance and showed it was particulate and not a blending of the traits.
