His father, however, wanted Mendel to take over the family farm.
Instead, he went and studied science and learnt mathematics and physics under Christian Doppler, and botany under Franz Unger. Mendel is known widely as The Father of Modern Genetics, and his work led to many discoveries about genetics.]]> 2017-03-21 16:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/briancolemillerwcs/4j896boq2unp/wish/161584768 briancolemillerwcs https://padlet.com/briancolemillerwcs/4j896boq2unp/wish/161587457 Gregor Mendel discovered "recessive" and "dominance" by crossbreeding different colored-seeds of peas, in which he noticed that the offspring of a yellow and green bred plant was always yellow, but green peas reappeared at a ratio of 1:3.  Mendel also noticed that the plant seemed to inherit more than just color from the parent, further reinforcing his beliefs. He inferred that there were invisible factors choosing what color it would be, now called genes.]]> 2017-03-21 17:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/briancolemillerwcs/4j896boq2unp/wish/161587457 briancolemillerwcs https://padlet.com/briancolemillerwcs/4j896boq2unp/wish/161881711 2017-03-22 16:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/briancolemillerwcs/4j896boq2unp/wish/161881711 briancolemillerwcs https://padlet.com/briancolemillerwcs/4j896boq2unp/wish/161882630 Mendel's ideas were not widely accepted until after his death, as at the time many biologists believed blending inheritance, in which genes from the parents were averaged and passed to the offspring. Mendel's laws and studies led to the science of genetics being accepted and learning more of heredity and genes. When his work was rediscovered, the ideas he had presented were widely credited to other scientists, even though they did not truly understand Mendel's laws and were not accepted as true. Eventually, however, his work was proved and replicated, bringing biologists to support Mendel's laws.]]> 2017-03-22 16:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/briancolemillerwcs/4j896boq2unp/wish/161882630
