Why are Mendel's discovers important?

Answer 1

He crossed different types of pea plants and studied their progeny. Through this he discovered a few things:

1. That each diploid organism possesses two alleles for any particular trait. The two alleles separate during meiosis in which gametes are formed. (Mendel's first law -- Principle of Segregation)

2. He discovered that alleles that are on different loci segregate independently of each other (Law of Independent Assortment -- Mendel's second law).

3.The concept of dominance was also demonstrated in his work. When an organism has a heterozygous genotype for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be its observed phenotype.

Answer 2

He was the first scientist to discover the workings of dominant and recessive genes. He used tall and short pea plants for his experiments and concluded that tall parents can, in fact, yield short offspring.

Answer 3

He is known as the Father of Genetics. He has laid the first stone in the field of genetics. His theory was very important in supporting the theory of evolution.

Answer 4

He basically was the father for the foundation of genetics. He found through his tedious studies with pea plants that traits are hereditary(come from parents and past generations).

Answer 5

because we dont no what to do
