Verified step by step guidance1
Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics, and his work laid the foundation for the understanding of heredity.
Mendel conducted experiments on pea plants (Pisum sativum) to study how traits are inherited from one generation to the next.
He chose pea plants because they have easily observable traits, such as flower color and seed shape, and they can be easily cross-pollinated.
Mendel's experiments with pea plants led to the formulation of the laws of inheritance, including the concepts of dominant and recessive traits.
While Mendel's work is primarily associated with genetics, it is relevant to organic chemistry as it involves the study of biological molecules and processes that govern heredity.
