Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk and scientist whose pioneering work in genetics laid the foundation for the field of heredity. Known as the father of modern genetics, Mendel's experiments with pea plants led to the formulation of the laws of inheritance. His research was largely unrecognized during his lifetime but gained prominence in the early 20th century, leading to the establishment of key genetic principles that are still fundamental in biology today. The Gregor-Mendel-Haus in Vienna serves as a tribute to his significant contributions.
Born on Jul 20, 1822 (202 years old)
