In this essay I will tell you about Gregor Mendel. I will tell you what he contributed to the study of heredity, when he conducted this work, if he relied on work or used any ideas from previous scientists, how their work impacted future scientists, and I will be telling you about any other interesting facts that I learned.
             First, I will tell you what he contributed to the study of heredity. He first used pea plants to conduct his work. His work was to brilliant and exceptional at the time that it took 34 years for the rest of the scientific community to catch up to it. The short monograph, "Experiments with Plant Hybrids," this is how Mendel describes how plants traits were inherited. This has become one of the most lasting and powerful publications in the history of science.
             Second, I will tell you when he conducted his work, In 1843 he began studying at the St. Thomas Monastery of the Augustinian Order in Brunn. He was ordained in the priesthood in August of 1847. He was given pastoral duties. He began to realize that he liked teaching more that that other stuff. In 1849 he started teaching in a school in the city of Znaim. Here, he took the qualifying examination to be a teacher and he failed. Then in 1851 he entered the University of Vienna to train to be a teacher of Mathematics and Biology. It was here where he developed his skills as a researcher which was made use of later during his life. He is considered the father of genetics. He was not appreciated for his work until the early 1900s
             Gregor Mendel was the first person to trace generations of a living thing; he didn't use any other scientist ideas. He used all of his own scientific ideas to figure it out. On one of his frequent walks around the monastery, he found an atypical variety of an ornamental plant. He took it and planted it next to the typical variety. He grew their progeny side by side to see if there would be any app...
