Who Is The Father of Genetics?

The father of genetics is Gregor Mendel. Mendel was an Austrian monk, whose experiments breeding pea plants in the monastery garden led to breakthroughs in our understanding of genetics and heredity. At the time, his work was not appreciated, and it was only some years after his death that the importance of it was recognized. Today, when we talk about Mendelian inheritance, we are referring directly to the laws of inheritance established by Gregor Mendel. This is why he is considered the father of genetics.

Our latest infographic tells Mendel’s story and explains his work and its importance.
