Gregor Mendel was a botanist, teacher
and monk. He was born in Austria. He
came up with the laws of Mendelian
inheritance in 1865. The laws explain
the principles of heredity.
Heredity
explains how offspring inherit traits
from parents. He figured out his laws
from studying pea plants. It turned out
those laws work for all living things.
They even work for people!
