Gregor Mendel, often referred to as the "father of modern genetics," published his groundbreaking work on the laws of inheritance in 1866. His research, primarily conducted on pea plants, established the fundamental principles of heredity.
🔑Key Points:
-Mendel's laws form the foundation of classical genetics.
-He conducted his experiments on pea plants (Pisum sativum) and published his findings in 1866.
-The law of independent assortment applies only to genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.
-Modern genetics has expanded on Mendel's work, incorporating the understanding of genetic linkage and recombination.
-Mendel's work was largely unrecognized during his lifetime but was rediscovered in the early 20th century, leading to the establishment of the field of genetics.
