Mendel Museum of Masaryk University studies conducted on plants, peas in particular. However, one should not fail to mention Mendel’s other research in the field of meteorology, or breeding of bees. Abbot Mendel has stood for an immortal icon of modern biology owing to his own persistence, diligence, and analytical approach to the heredity of peas and other plants. Therefore, he is rightly called the father of genetics. The work of this genius was only fully appreciated after his death. Therefore, one of the aims of the museum is to demonstrate Mendel’s genius, and to raise awareness about the fields of study students, as well

Its rediscovery prompted the foundation of modern genetics. His discoveries, deduction of segregation ratios, and subsequent laws have not only been used in research to gain a better understanding of plant genetics, but also play a large role in plant breeding. Mendel's works along with the works of Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace on selection provided the basis for much of genetics as a discipline. In the early 1900s, botanists and statisticians began to examine the segregation ratios
