Was Darwin influenced by Mendels ideas about genetics?

No, Darwin knew nothing about Mendel's ideas and work. His, Darwin's, heritability concept was absolutely wrong. There is a legend that Darwin had a copy of Mendel's work in his desk but could not read German. The veracity of this story is often challenged.


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.


What did Charles Darwin NOT know about the process of evolution?

Charles Darwin did not know about the role of genetics in evolution, as Gregor Mendel's work on inheritance was not widely known during Darwin's time. He also did not know about the mechanisms of genetic mutation, recombination, and gene flow that contribute to genetic diversity in populations. Additionally, Darwin was not aware of the concept of DNA as the molecule that carries genetic information.


What scientists won a nobel prize Darwin DeVries Mendel Muller or Galen?

Darwin, DeVries, Mendel, and Muller are scientists, but only Mendel won a Nobel Prize. Mendel is known for his work in genetics and heredity. Darwin, DeVries, and Muller made significant contributions to science in their respective fields but did not win a Nobel Prize. Galen, a Greek physician, lived in ancient times and did not win a Nobel Prize.


What well known process was important in developing both Mendel's and Darwin's idea's?

The process of natural selection was important in developing both Mendel's laws of inheritance and Darwin's theory of evolution. Natural selection acts on genetic variation, as described by Mendel, resulting in the accumulation of beneficial traits over time, as observed by Darwin in his theory of evolution by natural selection. The combination of Mendel's understanding of heredity and Darwin's theory of evolution provides a comprehensive explanation for the diversity of life on Earth.

Did Darwin get to know Mendel?

Unfortunately not. Darwin's idea of how offspring inherited characteristics was wholly mistaken, Mendel's work would have been very useful support for Darwin's work but although Mendel sent a copy of his paper to Darwin, it was in German and Darwin didn't have it translated and so didn't realise it's importance.

What unifying them brought the work of mendel and and Darwin together in the big picture of biology?

The unifying theme that united the work of Darwin and Mendel was the discovery of DNA. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid.

How did Mendel explain his theory's apparent conflict with Darwin's recent accepted theory of evolution.... What did he mean?

He was at a meeting in his home country and he was explaining his laws of heredity when someone mentioned that this was contra-Darwin. Mendel stood his ground and said Darwin was wrong here. Darwin had a mechanism of heredity that was pure speculation ( and he admitted that ) and very wrong. Mendel, mathematically and experimentally showed the laws of inheritance and showed it was particulate and not a blending of the traits.


When did Mendel and Darwin develop ideas together?

Gregor Mendel and Charles Darwin did not develop ideas together. Mendel's work on genetics and inheritance was published in 1866, several years after Darwin had already published his theory of evolution by natural selection in 1859. Their work was largely independent of each other, though their ideas have since been integrated into the modern evolutionary synthesis.
