Question

In which year Mendel’s work was rediscovered
A) 1900
B) 1901
C) 1902
D) 1903

Answer 1

Hint: Mendel is very profoundly called as the father of genetics. He worked on pea plants and later discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as separate units, one from each parent.

Complete answer:
Mendel's Laws of Heredity states The Law of Segregation, The Law of Independent Assortment, and The Law of Dominance. Mendel's genetic work with pea plants took him eight years (1856-1863) and published his findings in 1865. During this time, Mendel produced more than 10,000 pea plants, keeping track of the number and form of offspring. In his day, Mendel's work and his Rules of Inheritance were not respected. It wasn't until 1900, when his Rules were rediscovered, that his scientific findings were understood.
Mendel's work was rediscovered by DeVries, Correns and Tschermak independently. They helped to raise knowledge of Mendelian inheritance laws in the modern community. The three Europeans, unknown to each other, experimented on various plant species while the laws of inheritance were sorted out. When they studied the literature before reporting their own findings, they were shocked to see Mendel's old papers explaining certain laws in depth. Each man has declared Mendel's findings and his own work as proof of them. By 1900, cells and chromosomes had been adequately understood to give Mendel's philosophical concepts a tangible sense.

The correct answer is option A, 1900

Note:Mendel tracked the division of maternal genes and their presence as dominant or recessive characteristics in the offspring. He understood the statistical trends of succession from generation to generation.
