    Gregor Mendel

    • Gregor Mendel is known as the father of modern genetics.

    • Mendel attended the University of Olomouc.
    • His famous paper on heredity is called "Experiments on Plant Hybridization".
    • The conclusion of Mendel's experiments with pea plants was that hereditary traits are determined by discrete units (now called genes) that are passed from generation to generation.
