Gregor Mendel
D
Mr. Mayer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Charles Darwin: Naturalist, Revolutionary, and Father of Evolution.

Detailed explanation-2: -Charles Darwin is known as the father of evolution because he developed a coherent mechanism for how evolution worked. Darwin developed the theory of natural selection and sexual selection to explain the forces shaping the diversity of species and their eventual development into new species.

Detailed explanation-3: -The theory of natural selection was explored by 19th-century naturalist Charles Darwin. Natural selection explains how genetic traits of a species may change over time. This may lead to speciation, the formation of a distinct new species.

Detailed explanation-4: -Darwin proposed that species can change over time, that new species come from pre-existing species, and that all species share a common ancestor. In this model, each species has its own unique set of heritable (genetic) differences from the common ancestor, which have accumulated gradually over very long time periods.
