His observations of pea plants while gardening in his monastery. He observed that some pea traits were recessive and therefore less likely to show up through pea generations and other traits were dominant and more likely to show up through generations.

Who was Gregor Mendel and how did he discover the basis of heredity by breeding pea plants?
Not really. Depends a lot on how you define 'discovery'. Heredity was known by farmers and breeders for a long time. What Mendel specifically discovered was essentially genetics, i.e. the effect of genes and dominant and recessive genes, as well as a study on the actual numbers related to them (which percentage of the offspring would inherit what characteristics). So he probably did the first significant scientific study of heredity, but didn't discover it.
Did Charles Mendel develop the theory of natural selection in the 1800 and not include a genetic explanation?
No. He, whoever he may have been, neither included nor considered such as far as anyone is aware. However Gregor Mendel did significant work on genetics, though he did cheat. Charles Darwin, later, proposed a theory of evolution based on natural selection. Which is not the only theory of evolution. But seems to fit the facts.
Is the evolutionary theory based on chance?
The theory of evolution by natural selection is not based on chance.

Heredity is the idea of Darwin's based on fossil and the modern organisms he found basically saying that genetic changes are inherited by later generations.
What makes a theory a scientific theory opposed to a conspiracy theory?
One is based on scientific data the other is based on the unproven.

How have the principles of heredity been used for domesticating animals and plants?
To have better breeds of plants and animals for domestication, Intoduction, selection and hybridization techniques have been used based on the principles of heredity.
