Gregor Mendel, Father of Genetics

Gregor Johann Mendel (July 20, 1822 - January 6, 1884) was an Austrian scientist and Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the new science of genetics. Mendel conducted experiments in a monastery in the 1860's with garden peas, working out the law of heredity based on "factors" (genes) that decide which characteristics are passed from parent to offspring. His documented work was entitled: "Experiments with Plant Hybrids". Mendel had demonstrated that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance. Although the significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century, the independent rediscovery of these laws formed the foundation of the modern science of genetics. After he was elevated as abbot in 1868, his scientific work largely ended. Mendel died in 1884, at age 61, from chronic nephritis.

Gregor Mendel, Father of Genetics
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Gregor Johann Mendel (20 de julio de 1822 - 6 de enero de 1884) fue un científico austríaco y fraile agustino que adquirió fama póstuma como fundador de la nueva ciencia de la genética. Mendel llevó a cabo experimentos en un monasterio en la década de 1860 con guisantes, elaborando la ley de la herencia basada en "factores" (genes) que deciden qué características se transmiten de padres a hijos. Su obra documentada se tituló: "Experimentos con híbridos de plantas". Mendel había demostrado que la herencia de ciertos rasgos en las plantas de guisantes sigue patrones particulares, ahora denominados leyes de herencia mendeliana. Aunque la importancia del trabajo de Mendel no fue reconocida hasta principios del siglo XX, el redescubrimiento independiente de estas leyes formó la base de la ciencia moderna de la genética. Después de ser elevado a abad en 1868, su trabajo científico terminó en gran medida. Mendel murió en 1884, a los 61 años, de nefritis crónica.
