Gregor Mendel experimented with the common garden pea and kept careful records of his crossing of plants with differing characteristics and their offspring. By these observations, he discovered recessive and dominant genes and most importantly, the independent assortment of genes. Prior to his work, it was thought that genes from the mother plant "blended" with genes from the father plant and he showed that they worked independently, so that recessive genes "hid" in the second generation, but re-emerged in the next generation.

Who discovered monohybrid and dihybrid crosses?

Monohybrid crosses were discovered by Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk known as the father of modern genetics, in his famous pea plant experiments. Dihybrid crosses were also studied by Mendel in his experiments, where he observed the inheritance of two different traits simultaneously.
