History of DNA by Gergor Mendel

Gregor Mendel

                Gregor Mendel the "Father of Genetics" performed an experiement in 1857 that led to increased interest in the study of genetics. Mendel who became a monk of the Roman Catholic church in 1843, studied at the University of Vienna where they mastered arithmetic, & then later performed plenty of scientific experiments.

                The greatest experiment that Mendel performed involved growing thousands of pea plants for 8 years. They was made to give up his experiment when they became abbot of the monastery because of the political issues of the time. They died in 1884, but has been recalled for the great contribution to science that they made.
