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.
What else can I help you with?
Who fathered the theory of independent assortment Mendel?
Gregor Mendel
What dd scientists believe before Gregor Mendel?
Before Gregor Mendel, scientists believed in the theory of blending inheritance, which posited that offspring inherited a blend of traits from their parents. This theory lacked an explanation for how traits were passed on unchanged across generations. Mendel's work with pea plants provided the foundation for the modern understanding of genetics by introducing the concept of discrete hereditary units (genes) that are passed down in predictable patterns.
During which decade did Louis Pasteur develop pasteurization and Gregor Mendel refine his theory of genetics?
Louis Pasteur developed pasteurization in the 1860s and Gregor Mendel refined his theory of genetics in the 1860s and 1870s.
Did Mendel's finding support the theory of blending?
No, Mendel's findings did not support the theory of blending inheritance. Instead, his experiments on pea plants led to the development of the principles of inheritance now known as Mendelian genetics, which proposed the existence of discrete units of heredity (genes) that are passed on unchanged from generation to generation.
How did Charles Darwin influence 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.
What theory did Mendel disprove?
The theory of the blending of genes to form new organisms in reproduction.
The theory of inheritance was first proposed by an Austrian monk named?
Gregor Mendel is the father of genetics.He found the inheritance using pea plants.
Who fathered the theory of independent assortment Mendel?
Gregor Mendel
What is gregor Mendel's theory?
Gregor Mandals theory was to find out why peas were wrinkled and etc,
What new theory did gregor mendel come up with?
The Theory of Heredity
Who is associated with this theory of independent assortment?
Gregor Mendel
What is Gregor Mendel's theory called and what exactly does it state?
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.

What important studies where carried out by Gregor Mendel?
Gregor Johann Mendel was an Austrian monk and biologist whose work on heredity became the basis of the modern theory of genetics.
Who develop the gene theory?
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.
What did Darwin not know about his theory of evolution?
Darwin did not know about the role of genetics in inheritance, as Gregor Mendel's work on inheritance was not known to Darwin in his lifetime. Additionally, he did not have knowledge of the mechanism of heredity through DNA and genes.
