Non-mosaic Down syndrome is a genetic disorder.

Making the world better, one answer at a time. Stanislao Cannizzaro, an Italian chemist who worked with Dmitri, inspired Dmitri Mendeleev to come up with his creative ideas. Atomic Weight also inspired Mendeleev.
Mendel was not the first to propose genetics however, he was the first to figure out that genes (he called them elements) came in pairs and that one member of each pair came from each parent. As a result of his realization regarding pairs of genes, Mendel determined what are called Mendel's laws of inheritance..
