gregor mendel, the czech monk made the first reproducible observations of genetics. He could not exactly explain them however. From: Junior Geneticboy
Arguably with Gregor Johann Mendel (1822 - 1884).
He undertook several breeding experiments with peas and thus he deduced the general rules of inheritance. His work was purely phenomenological, as he didn't understand how the characteristics were being passed down from generation to generation, but his works (when rediscovered) were a good start, as he was among the first biologists to use mathematical methods in his experiments.
Mendel began his work in 1856, ended his experiments in 1863, and published his work in February of 1865. His conclusions were heavily criticized, and then forgotten for 30 years.
Famous scientists that contributed to the field of genetics are: * Watson and Crick * Rosaline FranklinGregor Mendel * Barbara McClintock * Linus Pauling Of course there are many more, but this is a good start. ---- Linus Pauling * Linus Pauling and the Race for DNA: A Documentary History
The year was 1851. Gregor Mendel, a young priest from a monastery in Central Europe, entered the University of Vienna to study mathematics and science. Two years later, Mendel returned to the monastery and began teaching at a nearby high school.Mendel also cared for the monastery's garden, where he grew hundreds of pea plants. He became curious about why some of the plants had different physical characteristics, or traits. Some pea plants grew tall while others were short. Some plants produced green seeds, while others had yellow seeds.Mendel observed that the pea plants' traits were often similar to those of their parents. Sometimes, however, the pea plants had different traits than their parents. The passing of traits from parents to offspring is called heredity. For more than ten years, Mendel experimented with thousands of pea plants to understand the process of heredity. Mendel's work formed the foundation of genetics, the scientific study of heredity.

How many years does it take to become a genetics if you start from AA degree?
Start by researching the history of your school and Republic day. That is a good place to start.
