Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, he was successful because he focused on each trait individually and with true breeding plants. He also used algebra to articulate and prove patterns of inheritance. Mendel also owned Darwin’s Origin of Species, which had been translated in German by 1860.
