The process of transfer of hereditary character from one generation to another is called genetics. Who is called the 'Father of Genetics', famous for his pea-plant experiment?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → G. J. Mendel
Gregor Johann Mendel, an Austrian monk, crossed varieties of the garden pea (1856-1863) and showed that characters pass from parents to offspring as separate units, now called genes. His laws of inheritance (dominance, segregation and independent assortment) laid the base of genetics, which is why he is called the Father of Genetics.
