It was disproved when he did his experiments (F1 and F2). When he cross-pollinated the tall and short pea plants;he was expecting a medium sized plant, but instead the pea plants were 100% tall. In the F2 generation he cross-pollinated a tall pea plant with another tall pea plant and he got 75% tall and 25% short. This shows it's not a blend,but a random pick. Also in the F1 generation with the cross-pollination of the tall and short pea plants he thought he was going to get medium sized pea plants and neither of the plants he cross-pollinated were medium sized or a blend.
Because his main test was on the color of the pea-pods. In all of his tests never were there any yellow-green pea-pods; they were all either green or yellow.
not sure,
But he was wrong
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.
The rules were worked out in the middle years of the nineteenth century by an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel, who devised them after conducting an extensive series of experiments on garden peas.
gregor mendel wrote a huge book to covince people his theory about geetics, although they never belived him until 40 years after he died.
1860s
The theory of the blending of genes to form new organisms in reproduction.
Gregor Mendel is the father of genetics.He found the inheritance using pea plants.
Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mandals theory was to find out why peas were wrinkled and etc,
The Theory of Heredity
Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mendel's theory was called Pangenesis. And what it actually states is sort of confusing. But a helpful website that you can use is this: http://anthro.palomar.edu/mendel/mendel_1.htm It helped me and hopfully it will help you.
Gregor Johann Mendel was an Austrian monk and biologist whose work on heredity became the basis of the modern theory of genetics.
Ultimately, Gregor Mendel's statistical approaches to genes, which he called factors, led DeVires, Morgan and other at the turn of the 20th century to develop a theory that explained the workings of genes.
