Why is Mendel referred to as the father of genetics?

Answer 1

== ==

Gregor Mendel was considered as the father of genetics because he was the first one to understand how DNA worked. Mendel was famous for working with pea plants. He breeded different kinds of pea plants to get certain kinds of colors of peas. Just like artists it took him to die for people to really listen to his theory. Luckily other scientists have proved his theory. Here are two quotes by gregor mendel:

My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.

The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used, and thus in the case before us it cannot be immaterial what plants are subjected to experiment and in what manner such experiment is conducted.

He discovered dominant and recessive genes and was one of the first to actually use Punnett squares.
Mend al was considered as the father of genetics because he was the first one to understand how DNA worked. Mendal was famous for working with pea plants. He breeded different kinds of pea plants to get certain kinds of colors of pea.

Answer 2

His experiments on pea plants led to many founding principles in genetics. He found ratios for monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, came up with the concept of dominant and recessive traits, and did it all without the use of any modern techniques.

Answer 3

He did the first controlled experimental studies on inheritance of traits, by using pea plants.

Unfortunately he could not explain a mechanism for the rules of inheritance he observed so he was largely ignored for a long time. The full explanation of the mechanism had to wait for the Watson and Crick work on the DNA double helix.

Answer 4

Mendle is known as the Father of Genetics due to his pioneering work on genetic relationships and plant breeding through the experiments and records he kept on pea breeding

Answer 5

Mendel given this title because he was the first to trace one trait though several generations.

and sucks dick for living

Answer 6

Mendel was the referred to as the father of genetics because Mendel was the first to trace one trait through several generations.

Hope this answer helped. :)

Answer 7

Because he used pea plants to test his genetic theories since pea plants grow at a much faster rate then humans do. Gregor Mendel answered many questions about genetics using this process.
