Gregor Mendel Astonishes the World with Breakthrough
A New Look On What We Are Made Of
Through research on the crossbreeding of plants for the benefit of food production, scientist Gregor Mendel has recently discovered and released his theory on how we humans obtain our traits from our parents. Mendel's theory of heredity states that for one person to gain a trait, it must be passed on by one or both of the parents. An example of inherited characteristics in humans is eye color. If you and your child both have brown eyes, this is not just by chance. You actually passed on the genes for brown eyes to your child during reproduction. Even though Mendel is a well respected scientist and geneticist, there are many who aren't accepting his discovery just yet.
