Typical Characteristics .
Contribution
Gregor Mendel Developed The Theory Of
Inheritance And Heredity . He Demonstrated That The Inheritance Of Certain
Traits In Pea Plant , Follows Particular Patterns , Now Referred To As Laws Of
Mendillian Inheritance . Although The Significance Of Mendel’s Work Was Not
Recognized Until The Turn Of The 20 th Century The Independent Rediscovery Of
These Laws Formed The Foundation Of The Modern Science Of Genetics .
After Completing
His Work With Peas , Mendel Turned To Experimenting With Honey Bees To Extend
His Work To Animals . He Produced A Hybrid Strain But Failed To Generate A
Clear Picture Of Their Heredity Because Of The Difficulties In Controlling
Mating Behavior Of Queen Bees . He Also Described Novel Plant Species And These
Are Denoted With The ; Botanical Author Abbreviation Mendel .
