Solution

The correct option is A Mendel
  • Gregor Mendel discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance by working on pea plants.
  • He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.
  • He was the first person to figure out genetics well enough to be able to predict the results of crosses that he made.
  • Some of his findings included the ideas of dominant and recessive factors, independent assortment and segregation of alleles.
