Group 1

Gregor Johann Mendel was born on July 22, 1822, to Anton and Rosine Mendel, on his family’s farm, in
Hynčice, Náchod District, Hradec Králové Region, Czech Republic . Mendel had one older sister,
Veronika, and one younger, Theresia. They lived and worked on a farm which had been owned by the
Mendel family for at least 130 years. Mendel never married and led a life of celibacy. On 6 January
1884, He died at the age of 61 in Brno, Moravia, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic), from
chronic nephritis.

During his childhood life, Gregor Mendel studied beekeeping which cultivated in him a deep love for
biological sciences. He received his early schooling in his own small village but had to be sent Troppau
for his secondary education. He excelled in his studies, and in 1840, he graduated from the school with
honors. Following his graduation, Mendel enrolled in a two-year program at the Philosophical
Institute of the University of Olmütz. There, he again distinguished himself academically, particularly
in the subjects of physics and math. Mendel graduated from the program in 1843.

In 1851, when he decided to enter the religious field, the monastery sent him to the University of
Vienna. In University of Vienna, he studied math and physics under Christian Doppler. He also studied
the anatomy and physiology of plants and the use of the microscope under botanist Franz Unger.

During his childhood, Mendel worked as a gardener. Mendel became a priest in 1847 and got his own
parish in 1848. He did not enjoy working as a parish priest and got a job as a high school teacher in
1849. After completing his studies, in 1854 he returned to the monastery and became a physics
teacher at a school at Brünn, where he taught for the next 16 years. In 1865, still interested in physical
science, he founded the Austrian Meteorological Society. In fact, during his life, Mendel published more
papers about meteorology than he did biology. In 1866, he published his heredity work. In 1867, aged
45, he became Abbot of his monastery and devoted himself to its smooth running as its administrator.

Gregor Mendel conducted number of experiments and observational studies of the plants he tended
around the monastery. His most famous discovery resulted from working with pea plants, where he
noticed that traits like blossom color followed a particular pattern of inheritance. Today, this pattern
and study called as “Mendelian Genetics”. Mendel chose to use peas for his experiments due to their
many distinct varieties, and because offspring could be quickly and easily produced. He cross-
fertilized pea plants that had clearly opposite characteristics—tall with short, smooth with wrinkled,
those containing green seeds with those containing yellow seeds, etc.—and, after analyzing his results,
reached of his most important conclusions: the Law of Segregation, which established that there are
dominant and recessive traits passed on randomly from parents to offspring, the Law of Independent
Assortment, which established that traits were passed on independently of other traits from parent to
offspring and Law of Dominance which states that an organism with alternate forms of a gene will
express the form that is dominant. He also proposed that this heredity followed basic statistical laws.
Though Mendel’s experiments had been conducted with pea plants, he put forth the theory that all
living things had such traits.
