    Gregor Mendel conducted early experiments with pea plants in the 1860s that laid the foundations for genetics by establishing the basic principles of heredity and inheritance through his laws of segregation, independent assortment, and dominance. His work was later rediscovered and built upon by scientists including Hugo de Vries, Erich von Tschermak, Karl Correns, William Bateson, Thomas Morgan, and Reginald Punnett. They conducted further experiments in inheritance and genetics, developed new terminology, and helped establish the field through discoveries such as genes, mutations, sex linkage, and chromosome theory.

    Gregor mendel

    - He is The Father of Genetics


    - He proposed new methods of research: He explained hybridization through
    mathematics.
    - Experienced with peas to propose broader theses
    - Creator Of The Law of Inheritance
    - Predicted of Existence of genes
    - Performed The first scientific description of a tornado
    - Conducted beekeeping experiments
    - The Law of Segregation
    - The Law of independent assortment
    - The Law of Dominance
    Hugo Devries
    - Genes
    - Rediscovering the laws of heredity in the 1890’s while unaware of gregor mendel’s work
    - Introducing the term “mutation”
    - Developing a mutation theory of evolution
    Erich VonTsechermak
    - Mendel's work was uncovered by E.V. On November 15, 1871, Tschermak was born in
    Austria. His early efforts focused mostly on flowers, fruits, and vegetables.
    - . His research focused on the consequences of heterosis and xenia in the Pisum
    sativum. His most significant contribution to breeding cereal grains was his study on
    correlations and hybridization in each of the major grain crops, including rye, wheat,
    barley, and oats.
    Karl Correns
    - At the University of Tubingen in Germany in 1890, Mendel's Work's re-discoverer Carl
    Correns conducted substantial hybridization research on peas, beans, maize, and lilies.
    He achieved outcomes comparable to those of Mendel in garden pea in 1900.
    - His research focused mostly on plant self-sterility, sex, reproductive mechanisms, and
    maize hybrids. His studies of 'incomplete dominance' in 1903 and 'cytoplasmic
    inheritance' in Mirabilis jalapa (4' o'clock plant) in 1909 have become classics. Later, he
    was appointed Director of the K.W. Berlingahlem Institute for Biology.
    William bateson
    - William Bateson, the father of genetics, was born on August 8, 1861 in Whitby,
    Yorkshire, England. In 1894, he released "Materials for the study of Variation," a well-
    known work. Realizing the significance of Mendel's research, he published his
    "Mendelian principles" in 1909, "Problems in Genetics" in 1913, and "Mendel's Principles
    of Heredity: A Defence" in 1920 shortly after.
    - In 1909, at the age of 48, William Bateson was named the first professor of genetics at
    Cambridge University. Later, he was appointed as the center's first Director, the
    renowned John Innes Horticulture Institute for Cytology and Genetics.
    - He founded the journal of genetics in 1911 along with Professor R.C. Punnett. He was
    the first scientist to document gene interaction between Lathyrus odoratus and chickens.
    He also introduced terminology like epistasis, hypostasis, coupling, repulsion,
    heterozygosity, heterozygous, zygote, and genetics. On August 8, 1926, the famous
    geneticist passed away.
    Thomas Morgan
    - The father of modern genetics, T.H. Morgan was born in Lexington, Kentucky, on
    September 25, 1866. He confirmed that chromosomes have a part in determining sex
    based on his cytological investigation. 1910 saw the publication of his research on
    Drosophila mutants.
    - Additionally, he demonstrated that sex-linked genes cross over and that this crossover is
    not random, demonstrating that sex-linked genes are connected to one another. Once
    more, it was suggested that linkage is based on the proximity of the relevant genes on
    the chromosomes. In 1933, he received the Nobel Prize for his outstanding
    achievement.
    Reginald Punette
    - Professor (Dr.) R.P. Roy was born in 1920 in Gangapur, Bihar. In addition to tissue
    culture, he is an expert in plant breeding, cytotaxonomy, and cytogenetics. He earned
    his Ph.D. in 1953 from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom.
    - The identification of the species involved in the creation and evolution of bread wheat
    was made possible by Dr. R.P. Roy's work on the chromosomal analysis of the species
    of Aegilops. By establishing an order of polyploid forms, such as triploid, tetraploid,
    nentaploid, and hexaploid as well as trisome, double trisome, etc., he demonstrated the
    relative significance of X and Y chromosomes in the determination of sex.
    - He created haploid, aneuploids via tissue culture. He conducted the first cytogenetic
    studies on timber sal, which includes Shorea robusta, S. assamica, and a dozen more
    related wood taxa. He also created interspecific hybrids to analyze the fern genus
    Adiantum's DNA.
