Gregor
Johann Mendel (July 20, 1822–January 6, 1884) was an Austrian scientist and
Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the new science
of genetics. Mendel demonstrated that the inheritance of certain traits in pea
plants follows particular patterns, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian
inheritance. Although the significance of Mendel's work was not recognized
until the turn of the 20th century, the independent rediscovery of these laws
formed the foundation of the modern science of genetics.
