Gregor Mendel (1 gen 1856 anni – 1 gen 1863 anni)

Descrizione:

Mendel discovered the laws of inheritance. He grew and monitored peas over a period of 8 years, and noted the genetic traits of each generation he grew. From those notes he had three general laws that each generation followed: Segregation; a trait comes from a gene pair and offspring inherit one allele from each parent, Assortment; genetic traits do not carry the same genes and are inherited separately, and Dominance; the dominant allele is the one offspring will express in an organism with multiple forms of a gene. Mendel’s laws of inheritance are considered fundamentally true minus a few complex exceptions.
