	Gregor Mendel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gregor Johann Mendel (July 22, 1822 – January 6, 1884) was an Austrian monk who is often called the "father of genetics" for his study of the inheritance of traits in pea plants.
		Gregor Mendel was inspired by both his professors at university and his colleagues at the monastery to study variation in plants.

	Mendel, Gregor Johann. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Mendel was the first to fashion, by means of a controlled pollination technique and careful statistical analysis of his results, a clear, analytic picture of heredity.
		Briefly summarized, as we understand it today by means of the science of genetics, the Mendelian system states that an inherited characteristic is determined by the combination of a pair of hereditary units, or genes, one from each of the parental reproductive cells, or gametes.
		The law of segregation (Mendel’s first law) states that in the process of the formation of the gametes (see meiosis) the pairs separate, one going to each gamete, and that each gene remains completely uninfluenced by the other.

		Mendel formulated two laws now recognized as fundamental laws of heredity: the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment of characters.
		Mendel concluded that each parent plant contributes a ‘factor’ to its offspring for determining a particular trait.
		Mendel was born in Heinzendorf (now Hyncice in the Czech Republic), and entered the Augustinian monastery in Brünn, Moravia (now Brno, Czech Republic) in 1843.

		Mendel, however, in addition to the multiplicity of his duties as abbot, became involved in a lengthy controversy with the Government which absorbed his attention and embittered the last years of his life.
		Mendel's experiments, on which his fame rests, were commenced while he was still a novice, and carried out in the large gardens attached to his monastery.
		Mendel himself, though grievously disappointed at the neglect of his views, never lost confidence in them, and was wont to exclaim to his friends, "Meine Zeit wird schon kommen".

		Mendel was interested in the process involved in plant breeding, a millennia-old practice that was until then entirely based on empiricism.
		Mendel manually cross-pollinated the varieties to produce several generations of hybrids and observed how the specific traits were transferred from generation to generation.
		Mendel's second discovery was that some genes, which he called dominant gametes, suppressed the action of others, which he called recessive gametes The purple-flower gene, for example, is dominant, while the white-flower gene is recessive, which explained why the first generation of hybrids had only purple flowers.

	Gregor Johann Mendel — 1822-1884.
		Gregor Johann Mendel, founder of Genetics, was born on 22nd July, 1822, to Anton and Rosine Mendel at the village of Heinzendorf bei Odrau in Austrian Silesia (now in the Czech Republic).
		Gregor was an intelligent student at the village school and, at the age of 11, was sent on to Leipnik.
		Mendel proved to be extremely successful at his teaching at the technical school, both for his instructional skills and his treatment of the students.

	Villanova University - Gregor Mendel
		Mendel demonstrated that the appearance of different characters in heredity followed specific laws which could be determined by counting the diverse kinds of offspring produced from particular sets of crosses.
		Mendel was not able to replicate his findings as the hawkweed reproduces asexually from diploid tissue in the ovary (apomixis), producing clones of the parent.
		Mendel, alone among the monastery superiors, vigorously contested the tax and refused to recognize the validity of the law.

	Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)
		Mendel, the first person to trace the characteristics of successive generations of a living thing, was not a world-renowned scientist of his day.
		Mendel's brilliant performance at school as a youngster encouraged his family to support his pursuit of a higher education, but their resources were limited, so Mendel entered an Augustinian monastery, continuing his education and starting his teaching career.
		From his studies, Mendel derived certain basic laws of heredity: hereditary factors do not combine, but are passed intact; each member of the parental generation transmits only half of its hereditary factors to each offspring (with certain factors "dominant" over others); and different offspring of the same parents receive different sets of hereditary factors.

	Gregor Mendel - Father of Genetics
		Mendel was well aware that there were certain preconditions that had to be carefully established before commencing investigations into the inheritance of characteristics.
		Mendel's findings allowed other scientists to simplify the emergence of traits to mathematical probability (While mixing one trait always resulted in a 3:1 ratio between dominant and recessive phenotypes, his experiments with two traits showed 9:3:3:1 ratios).
		Mendel's ideas on heredity and evolution were diametrically opposed to those of Darwin and his followers (although neither Mendel nor Darwin knew of the other’s work).

		Johann Gregor Mendel naît le 22 juillet 1822 à Heisendorf, petit village de Moravie, dans une famille de paysans encore sous le joug féodal.
		Mendel accepte l’offre et c’est ainsi qu’à vingt et un an, il choisit "une place dans la société qui lui épargne les rudesses de la lutte pour la vie".
		Mendel, après dix années de travaux minutieux, a ainsi posé les bases théoriques de la génétique et de l’hérédité moderne.

		Mendel was born on July 22, 1822, to a peasant family in Heinzendorf (now Hynčice, Czech Republic).
		As a result of years of research in population genetics, investigators were able to demonstrate that Darwinian evolution can be described in terms of the change in gene frequency of Mendelian pairs of characteristics in a population over successive generations.
		Mendel's later experiments with the hawkweed Hieracium proved inconclusive, and because of the pressure of other duties he ceased his experiments on heredity by the 1870s.

		In 1843 Mendel still kept his goal of being a teacher and at the age of 21, he joined the monastery of St. Thomas in Brunn (currently Bruno, Czechoslovakia).
		Mendel's work and theories were accepted by contemporary scientists because he was a monk.
		Mendel was an important biologist, however, if he never existed or had done his expirments, I think scientist wouldn't have starrted cloning until the late 2000's or 2100's.
