From his first experiments with monohybrid crosses, Mendel formed statistical predictions about trait inheritance that he could test with more complex experiments of dihybrid and even trihybrid ...

Through his breeding experiments with pea plants, Mendel established three principles of inheritance that described the transmission of genetic traits before genes were even discovered.

All three relied on or built upon the work of the Austrian monk, whose experiments in pea plants are famous today as the foundation of genetics. Yet at the time, “there was no such discipline as ...

Evidence from a rapidly growing number of experiments, by my group and many others, has convinced me that they can. Accidental Inheritance My first glimpse of multigenerational epimutations was a ...

Mendel’s experiments would lead to the fundamental laws of inheritance, laying the modern foundation for the study of genetics. The original greenhouse that Mendel worked in was destroyed in a ...

When the experiment was being started, the government of the Soviet Union was against genetics and geneticists, causing scientists who studied in such fields to face risk of internment or even death.
