If studying genetics, rats are a popular choice because they breed quickly, having a gestation period lasting under a month. Also, they live longer than mice do, up to four or six years if in good health. They also have a variety of coat, fur, and eye colors that would make basic study of genetics easy by studying offsprings' genes in relation to their parents. I was under the impression that Mendel mainly studied pea plants, though. But that would be my guess why; the reasons for his studying peas are similar to why one would study rats. It's practical.
The scientist who is considered the founder of genetics is Gregor Mendel. Mendel's experiments with pea plants in the 19th century laid the foundation for modern genetics by establishing the principles of heredity.
Gregor Mendel is considered the father of genetics
no, as well as studying the genetics, he was also a monk! hope it helped! :)
Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics. He conducted experiments with pea plants in the 19th century, establishing the foundational principles of heredity and the study of genetics.
Gregor Mendel is best known for his work in genetics, specifically his experiments with pea plants that led to the discovery of the basic principles of heredity. He did not invent anything in the traditional sense, but his work laid the foundation for the field of genetics.
No he didn't was a Monk, and was to interested in genetics.

Gregor Mendel used pea plants to discover genetics and its principles.
His name was not Mendel Gregor, but his name was actually Gregor Mendel. He invented a law of heredity and genetics known as Mendel's Laws of Heredity. Do YOU like me?
Gregor Mendel was a botanist from Austria. He was also a friar and is considered to be the founder of genetics.
