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.
Was Mendel's work on inheritance published after Darwins lifetime?
Yes, Gregor Mendel's groundbreaking work on inheritance was published in 1866, while Charles Darwin was still alive. However, Mendel's work went largely unnoticed until it was rediscovered and accepted by the scientific community in the early 20th century.
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 unifying theme brought the work of Mendel and Darwin together in the system of biology?
The unifying theme that brought the work of Gregor Mendel and Charles Darwin together in biology is the concept of evolution through natural selection, which relies on genetic variation. Mendel's principles of inheritance revealed how traits are passed down through generations, providing a genetic basis for the variations that Darwin observed in populations. Together, their work laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology by linking genetic mechanisms to evolutionary processes. This synthesis helped explain how species adapt and evolve over time.
What field of study did Mendel's experiments help establish?
Mendel was cross-breeding plants. His work with pea plants supported Darwin. I guess he was a plant geneticist.
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.
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.
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.

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.
