Question

Mendel was born in
A) 17th century
B) 18th century
C) 19th century
D) 8th century

Answer 1

Hint: Seven features of pea plants were used by Mendel: plant height, pod color and shape, seed color and shape, flower location and colour. Mendel found that their offspring still developed yellow seeds when a true-breeding green pea and a true-breeding yellow pea are cross-bred.

Complete Answer:
 In the Silesian region of the Austrian Empire (now the Czech Republic), Mendel was born into a German-speaking family and received posthumous acknowledgement as the father of modern genetic science.

Now, let us find the solution from the options-
- The Austrian monk Gregor Johann Mendel was born on July 22, 1822.
- Via the pea plant experiments, he explored the concepts of inheritance.
- For seven years, Mendel performed hybridization studies on garden peas and suggested the rules of inheritance in living species.
- That is the rule of supremacy, the rule of apartheid, the law of freedom.
- The pea plant experiments performed by Mendel during 1856 and 1863 developed many of the heredity principles, now known as the Mendelian inheritance laws.
- In 1884, he died of kidney failure.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) 19th century.

Note: Mendel started his hereditary research using mice. He has been at St. Thomas's Abbey, but one of his friars who researched animal sex did not like his bishop, so Mendel turned to plants. In a bee house that was constructed for him, Mendel also bred bees, utilizing bee hives he constructed.
