World Scientist: Gregor Mendel

HE DISCOVERED THE RULES OF INHERITANCE
Gregor Mendel studied pea plants in his garden and uncovered the basic laws of genetics. By carefully observing how traits passed from one generation to the next, he laid the foundation for modern biology. Though his work was not recognized at first, his discoveries later changed science forever and earned him the title "Father of Genetics".
