Gregoras Mendelis

scientist

Gregoras Mendelis, known as the father of genetics, was an Austrian scientist and monk whose pioneering work in the field of inheritance laid the foundation for modern genetics. His experiments with pea plants in the mid-19th century led to the discovery of the fundamental laws of heredity, known as Mendel's Laws. His work remained largely unrecognized during his lifetime but gained prominence in the early 20th century, significantly influencing the fields of biology and genetics.
