- The transport of slaves from Africa to the Americas, during which nearly 20 percent of slaves died.
Explanation:
The Middle Passage was the phase of the triangular exchange which a large number of Africans were coercively transported to the New World as a feature of the Atlantic slave trade.
Boats left Europe for African markets with made goods, which were exchanged for bought or kidnapped Africans, who were transported over the Atlantic as slaves; the slaves were then sold or exchanged for cruderaw materials, which would be transported back to Europe to finish the voyage.

Answer:
In 1866, the results of Gregor Mendel's studies in heredity were published in Austria. His work on the inheritance of genetics paved the way for improving crops.
Explanation:
Gregor Johann Mendel was an Austrian biologist and botanist, Augustinian monk, and abbot. He is widely known as the founder of the doctrine of heredity. His discovery of the laws of inheritance of monogenic traits (these laws are now known as the Mendel Laws) was the first step towards modern genetics.
He published his findings in 1865, but his ideas were not noticed until after his death, in the early 1900s, when other researchers made the same discovery. Mendel is now recognized as the father of genetics.
