Gregor Mendel

(1822-1884) Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk and scientist considered the father of genetics. Through experiments with pea plants in the monastery of Brno, he discovered the laws of heredity, demonstrating that traits are transmitted from one generation to the next through heritable units that today we call genes. His findings, published in 1866, were ignored in his time, but in the early 20th century, his work was rediscovered and became the basis of modern genetics. 🌱🧬
