Gregor Mendal appropriately called ‘’Father

of Genetics’’, joined as supply teacher at

Brunn to study Natural sciences and

Mathematics. During his tenure in teaching,

he started his historic experiments with

Garden Peas (Pisum Sativum) in the

monastery garden. It was an annual plant

with well defined characteristics. Flowers

were bisexual and self fertilized, through

many generation of natural self-fertilization

garden peas had developed into pure lines.

He selected seven pairs of contrasting

characters among pea plants and all were
