– Gregor Mendel's Background: Mendel was born in a poor farmer's family in Austria in 1822. Despite financial challenges, he pursued studies and became a science teacher through his dedication to experiments on pea plants. His discoveries with plant traits laid the foundation for genetics.【4:0†source】.
– Mendel's Experiments with Pea Plants: Mendel discovered that pea plants have traits that come in pairs, such as seed texture (rough or smooth), seed color (yellow or green), and plant height (tall or short). He observed that the next generation inherits these traits in a predictable manner, without mixing characteristics. Mendel's experiments revolutionized the understanding of heredity and genetic inheritance.【4:0†source】.
