Mendelian inheritance
The laws of inheritance were derived by Gregor Mendel , a 19th century Austrian Priest /monk conducting hybridization experiments in garden peas ( Pisum sativum ). [ 1 ] Between 1856 and 1863, he cultivated and tested some 29,000 pea plants. From these experiments he deduced two generalizations

collaboration, which lasted several years. [ 2 ] A Punnett square When Punnett was an undergraduate, Gregor Mendel 's work on inheritance was largely unknown and unappreciated by scientists. However, in 1900, Mendel 's work was rediscovered by Carl Correns , Erich Tschermak von Seysenegg
List of geneticists
This is a list of people who have made notable contributions to genetics. The growth and development of genetics represents the work of many people. This list of geneticists is therefore by no means complete. Contributors of great distinction to genetics are not yet on the list. Contents
History of botany
The history of botany examines the human effort to understand life on Earth by tracing the historical development of the discipline of botany – that part of natural science dealing with organisms traditionally treated as plants. Rudimentary botanical science began with the empirically

trait. The notion of a gene [ 3 ] is evolving with the science of genetics , which began when Gregor Mendel noticed that biological variations are inherited from parent organisms as specific, discrete traits. The biological entity responsible for defining traits was later termed a gene
History of evolutionary thought
In 1858, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory that was explained in detail in Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859). Unlike Lamarck, Darwin proposed common descent and a branching tree of life . The theory was based on the idea of natural selection
History of genetics
The history of genetics is generally held to have started with the work of an Augustinian friar , Gregor Mendel . Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics. His work on pea plants, published in 1866, described what came to be known as Mendelian Inheritance . In the centuries before
Modern evolutionary synthesis
The modern evolutionary synthesis is also referred to as the new synthesis , the modern synthesis , the evolutionary synthesis and the neo-darwinian synthesis . It is a union of ideas from several biological specialties which provides a widely accepted account of evolution . The synthesis
