What was Mendels contribution to the study of biology?

Answer 1

He undertook several breeding experiments with peas and thus he deduced the general rules of inheritance. His work was purely phenomenological, as he didn't understand how the characteristics were being passed down from generation to generation, but his works (when rediscovered) were a good start, as he was among the first biologists to use mathematical methods in his experiments.

Answer 2

Gregor Mendel is often called the father of genetics for his study of the inheritance of traits in pea plants and was known for discovering genetics.

Answer 3

Gregor Mendel, known as the father of modern genetics, conducted experiments with pea plants that led to the discovery of the basic principles of heredity. His work laid the foundation for our understanding of how traits are passed from parents to offspring. This laid the foundation for the modern field of genetics.

Answer 4

Father Gregor Johann Mendel was recognized as the father of modern genetics, but not until many years after his death on January 6, 1884.

Answer 5

Gregor Mendel came up with the first formulation of the laws of inheritance of dominant and recessive traits.

Answer 6

Mendel discovered three laws of heredity: the law of dominance, the law of segregation, and the law of independent assortment.

Answer 7

Discovery of principles of inheritance
