Who is known as the “Father of Genetics”? |
Charles Darwin Carl Linnaeus Aristotle Gregor Mendel |
Gregor Mendel |
The correct answer is Option (4) - Gregor Mendel The Father of Genetics. Like many great artists, the work of Gregor Mendel was not appreciated until after his death. He is now called the "Father of Genetics," but he was remembered as a gentle man who loved flowers and kept extensive records of weather and stars when he died. He was born on July 22, 1822, to a poor farming family who lived in a village in Northern Moravia, which is now part of the Czech Republic. His family valued education but had little resources to send him to school, so he struggled to pay for his education. |
