Gregor Mendel

The pea experiment

Identified many of the rules of heredity. These rules determine how traits are passed through generations of living things.• Saw that living things pass traits to the next generation by something which remains unchanged in successive generations of an organism – we now call this ‘something’ genes.• Realized that traits could skip a generation – seemingly lost traits could appear again in another generation – he called these recessive traits.• Identified recessive and dominant traits which pass from parents to offspring.• Established, momentously, that traits pass from parents to their offspring in a mathematically predictable way.

From 1856-1863 was the years of his contribution
