1822-1884 Austrian Monk, Biologist and Botanist In the quiet setting of a monastery garden, Gregor Mendel bred pea plants in an attempt to understand heredity, or how characteristics are passed from parent to offspring. After more than seven years of...

(born July 22, 1822, Heinzendorf, Austria—died Jan. 6, 1884, Brünn, Austria-Hungary) Austrian botanist and plant experimenter who laid the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics. He became an Augustinian monk in 1843 and later...

// n. The observation that, in a construction in which an underlying indirect or oblique object has been promoted to direct object, the underlying direct object fails to exhibit the typical properties of a direct object—for example, it cannot...

Gregor Johann Mendel (July 20, 1822[1] – January 6, 1884) was an Austrian Augustinian priest and scientist often called the "father of genetics" for his study of the inheritance of traits in pea plants. Mendel showed that the inheritance of traits...
