Gregor Johann
Mendal(1822-1884)

A priest and botanist, considered as the father of genetics. While
teaching science in Secondary school he began his experiments in the
monastery garden, which were to result in his discovery of the basic laws of
heredity. His findings were published in 1866. Using the garden peas for
his subject, Mendel's studies in 'Plant hybridization' proved elementary
units of heredity (genes) and established the statistical laws governing
them.
