Gregor Mendel is called the father of genetics because he was the first person in the world to observe the fact that characteristics were passed on from the parents to the children.However, he did not take much interest in human characteristics. He had more interest in the plants.e knew that passing down traits also existed in plants, and that is why he chose to study plants. He did try studying animals, but he was not successful with his attempt. Gregor Mendel was accredited with the title, father of genetics, much later after his death.
Gregor Mendel was the first to describe the principles of inheritance that are the basis for classical genetics and the development of modern genetics. The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate Mendelian patterns and principles of inheritance. You will use corn as the model organism in this lab. Corn was one of the first model organisms to be used in genetics, but it is not often used today due to the long (one year) generation time. We will use corn to demonstrate Mendelian principles of genetics.
