Direction 109 - 110 :
Gregor Mendal appropriately called ‘’Father
of Genetics’’, joined as supply teacher at
Brunn to study Natural sciences and
Mathematics. During his tenure in teaching,
he started his historic experiments with
Garden Peas (Pisum Sativum) in the
monastery garden. It was an annual plant
with well defined characteristics. Flowers
were bisexual and self fertilized, through
many generation of natural self-fertilization
garden peas had developed into pure lines.
He selected seven pairs of contrasting
characters among pea plants and all were
related as dominant and recessive
fortunately.
