Gregor mendel grew up on a farm in austria, during the 1800's.
At 21 Mendel joined a monastery that sparked his interest in science.
Mendel discovered that pea plants can self-pollinate
In self-pollination, sperm from one plant fertilizes the the eggs of the same plant. A true-breeding plant's offspring will have the same traits as the parent.
They canCross-Pollinate
When Mendel crossed a purple plant and a white plant, he observed that the offspring always had purple flowers
First Generation Plants
Mendel choose to call the trait that appeared the dominant trait, and the trait that disappeared the recessive trait
Gregor Mendel then allowed the first-generation plants to self-pollinate
Second Generation plants!
Mendel observed that for every 3 plants with dominant traits there was 1 plant with the recessive trait

ratio
Mendel concluded that each parent gives one set of instruction, the offspring's traits are determined by the dominant set of instructions
Gregor Mendel was a GENIUS
Unfortunately scientists did not recognize Mendel's work until 30 years after his death.
