Versuche über Pflanzenhybriden

"Versuche über Pflanzenhybriden" by Gregor Mendel is a scientific paper written in 1865 and published in 1866. Based on experiments with approximately 28,000 pea plants conducted between 1856 and 1863, Mendel compared seven distinct characteristics to understand how traits pass from one generation to the next. His discoveries revealed that certain traits dominate over others, challenging prevailing theories about inheritance. Though initially overlooked, this work would later become foundational to modern genetics. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
