Mendel's Genetics Hybridized domesticated horses F or thousands of years farmers and herders have been selectively breeding their plants and animals to produce more useful hybrids . It was somewhat of a hit or miss process since the actual mechanisms governing inheritance were unknown. Knowledge of these genetic mechanisms finally came as a result of careful laboratory breeding experiments carried out over the last century and a half. Gregor Mendel By the 1890's, the invention of better microscopes allowed biologists to discover the basic facts of cell division and sexual reproduction. The focus of genetics research then shifted to understanding what really happens in the transmission of hereditary traits from parents to children. A number of hypotheses were suggested to explain heredity, but Gregor Mendel , a little known Central European monk, was the only one who got it more or less right. His ideas had been published in 1866 but largely went unrecognized until 1900, which was long after his death. His early adult life was spent in relative obscurity doing basic genetics research and teaching high school mathematics, physics, and Greek in Brno (now in the Czech Republic). In his later years, he became the abbot of his monastery and put aside his scientific work. Common edible peas While Mendel's research was with plants, the basic underlying principles of heredity

Edition 97.1 (February 22, 1997) The current edition of MendelWeb is now available at www.mendelweb.org . A new edition is planned for late 2003, and will likely include at least one mirror site. I am always happy to receive your comments, suggestions, and corrections. Roger B. Blumberg (rblum@netspace.org) What's New with 97.1 Table of Contents Mendel's Paper Essays and Commentary ... Frequently Asked Questions "In 1859 I obtained a very fertile descendant with large, tasty seeds from a first generation hybrid. Since in the following year, its progeny retained the desirable characteristics and were uniform, the variety was cultivated in our vegetable garden, and many plants were raised every year up to 1865." Mendel [1950] What is MendelWeb? MendelWeb is an educational resource for teachers and students interested in the origins of classical genetics, introductory data analysis, elementary plant science, and the history and literature of science. Constructed around Gregor Mendel's 1865 paper and a revised version of the English translation by C.T. Druery and William Bateson, "Experiments in Plant Hybridization" , MendelWeb is offered as a public sourcebook and collaborative environment compatible with a variety of guided and independent studies.
