Detailed explanation-1: -Gregor Mendel: the ‘father of genetics’

Detailed explanation-2: -Because breeding and studying those pea plants led Mendel to discover the fundamental laws of inheritance, earning him wide recognition as the father of modern genetics.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetics is the branch of science that study inheritance and variations in organisms. Mendel studied the inheritance of seven pairs of contrasting characters in garden pea and gave the laws of inheritance which laid the foundation of genetics; he is known as the father of genetics.

Detailed explanation-4: -He called this heritable substance “elementen.” (Remember, in 1865, Mendel did not know about DNA or genes.) Indeed, for each of the traits he examined, Mendel focused on how the elementen that determined that trait was distributed among progeny.
