He first learned about them when he was on a journey to Mecca. His best friend and long time girlfriend Phoebe was alaong for the ride, and she had fallen, breaking her face. They tried to figure out whys he had fallen when a leaf monkey came up form behind and started to throw coins at them. This is when the lightbulb was invented.
The monk named Gregor Mendel is called the Father of Genetics. His experiments with pea plants showed that the inheritance of certain traits follows particular patterns, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and leading to the study of heredity. Even though he did his work in the mid 1800's, he wasn't given credit until the turn of the century (1900).
This is true
No, Gregor Mendel dies in 1884, and the Nobel Prize was first established in 1895.
He published his findings in 1865 but it was not until after his death, more than 30 years later, that his work widely recognized published his findings in 1865 but it was not until after his death, more than 30 years later, that his work widely recognized.

There is also incomplete dominance where a red flower and a white flower cross and produce pink flowers; this means that the offspring did not have the alleles from the parents, so the traits blended. Another type would be co-dominance where the offspring share the alleles of both parents; an example would be the roan cattle (it has both red and white colors from its parents). Multiple alleles are usually in blood types (type A, B, O). Blood type AB is co-dominant.
Today, scientists recognize Mendel's discovery of genetics; therefore, it is important people should study genetics in biology.
Sweet Pea having seven contrasting traits.
well they have been working on this "invention" for the past 10 years. it is the #1 invention they have spend the most money on. some biologists are taking the DNA of a human being. and they are looking through the bases and chromosomes and looking for "the mistake". in other words they are trying to find where the root of the cancer/disease comes from. once they find it they are going to cut it off. and prevent cancer in that genetics.
further more, they would like to mess around and change the hair color. and what so not.
In F 2 , he got 3:1 ratio in tall and dwarf pea plants .
Phenotype - All Tall
TT x Tt
TT (75%) Tall
Tt (25%) Tall
He discovered that certain genetic traits obeyed statistical laws. He postulated that the frequency of the appearance of those traits was best explained by dominance, recessiveness and co-dominance of genetic material passed from the parent plants.
Gregor mendel conducted his experiments that were of greater significance between the years of 1856 and 1863.
Mendel was doing research in his lab... and found that when two parents with contrasting characters are crossed only one character is expressed in F1 generation and in F2 generation both characters appear in separate plants in a definite proportion. the one which dominated in F1 was a dominant character and thus the Principle of Dominance was discovered.
Genetic drift is the term used for random evolutionary developments that have equal "survival-value" with respect to natural selection. Natural selection defines broad parameters for what kind of traits organisms existing in a certain environment should ideally have, but within these parameters there is a lot of room for random drift.
Mendel interpreted his results intelligently. He imagined that the contrasting form of a trait, tall or short was determined by heredity factors. Each individual had a pair of these factors .One factor of this pair had come in him from his male parent and the other from his female parent .Both of these factors together controlled expression of trait in him. Mendel assigned symbols to factors.
