Gergor Mendel
Father of modern genetics
Who was he?
Early Years
Experimental Design Description
He studied heredity by using two different kinds of pea plants.
Facts/examples:
1. He crossed yellow peas with green peas and he would always end up with yellow peas and never green ones.
2. He didn’t know where the green trait went, so he took two pea plants from the new batch and most of the peas were yellow, but some of them came out green.Where did the green trait go?
Mendel made up the terms Dominant and Recessive, he figured out that that the peas all have a dominant trait.
Peas to Apples
Random fertilization with pea plants
He took a long stem pea plant and a short stem pea plants, and his data shows that there was more long stem pea plants than short stem pea plants, because most of them had the dominant trait that makes them long.
