Introduction[edit | edit source]
History[edit | edit source]
Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was a scientist and monk from the Austrian Empire (today's Czech Republic) and is referred to as "the founder of the science of modern genetics".[1] His scientifically rigorous experiments, which he conducted during his life in the monastery using pea plants, led him to construct the theory of inheritance of trades. He published his findings in 1865, but only gained posthumous recognition for the relevance of his work.
