Answer 1

Prior to the work of Mendel, inheritance was viewed as resulting from the BLENDING of phenotypic traits within fixed, unchanging species. Mendel discovered how traits are inherited across generations.

Mendel was a scientist who experimented on pea hybrids and now he is known as the father of modern genetics.

The Mendel principles include:

• The Law of Segregation posits that phenotypic inherited traits can be controlled by two 'factors' (i.e., alleles), which separate (i.e., segregate) and pass into germinal gametic cells.

• The Law of Independent Assortment posits that these factors do not depend upon each other, but instead, alleles are independently sorted into germinal (gametes) cells.
