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.

I was wrong its not a random pick because he got the same result for all of his 20,000 experiments. Thats why he made a ratio for it being the famous 3:1 ratio.

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.

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.
