• 1. He was an Austrian monk who studied mathematics and science.
• 2. He was born on July 22,1822 to Anton and Rosine Mendel on his family farm.
• 3. Mendel's research was said to reflect his personality.

HISTORICAL FACTS

• 1. His interest in plants began as a boy on his fathers orchard where he could
• predict the possible types of flowers and fruits that would result in
• cross breeding two plants.
• 2. Mendel was the first person to trace the characteristics of successive

• 2. He invented the word hybrids from cross breeding to plants.
• 3. Hybrids means different genetics information and different alleles.
• 4. An organism that always produces the same traits generation after
• generation is called purebred

SCIENTIFIC FACTS

• 1. Mendel called the tall form the dominant factor because
• It dominated the short form.
• 2. He called the form that seems to disappear the recessive factor.
• 3. Mendel's findings in hybridization were presented in two lectures
• before the society for the study of the natural sciences in Brünn in 1856.

SCIENTIFIC FACTS

• 1. Mendel crossed different plants and calculated the results.
• 2. He planted some plants with the cross of long and short plants and then
• planted the seeds of some long plants and pollinated some of them himself.
• 3. As a result the naturally pollinated plants from the cross of the short long
• Plants were long and the ones of the long plants that were naturally pollinated sprouted short.

3 REASONS WHY THIS TOPIC IS IMPORTANT

• 1. He is important because he is the father of modern genetics.
• 2. Secondly he is important because he was the first person to discover hybrids.
• 3. Lastly he is important because His theory was very important
