Jul 20, 1998 · Through his careful breeding of garden peas, Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity and laid the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics.

Mendel’s seminal work was accomplished using the garden pea, Pisum sativum, to study inheritance. This species naturally self-fertilizes, meaning that pollen encounters ova within the same flower.

Mendel set himself the very ambitious task of discovering the laws of heredity. To achieve this, he embarked on a mammoth sized, highly systematic, eight year study of edible peas, individually and …

This year we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Gregor Johann Mendel, who discovered the missing component of Darwin’s evolutionary theory, the genetic mechanism of trait inheritance.

3 days ago · In his monastery garden, Mendel performed thousands of crosses with pea plants, discovering how characteristics are passed down from one generation to the next — namely, …

Mendel’s experiments extended beyond the F 2 generation to the F 3 generation, F 4 generation, and so on, but it was the ratio of characteristics in the P, F 1, and F 2 generations that were the most …
