Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Gregor Mendel belonged to a family of farmers but he went to pursue academic studies. all these things combined with his curiosity resulted in his research studies.

Mendel 's observations have become the basis of modern genetics and the study of heredity, and he is universally recognized as a foundation for the development of genetics.
