Question

Three reasons for ignorance of mendel's work until 1990

Answer 1

the outstanding contributions of Mendel were overlooked by the scientific world of that time because:
a)his results were published in an obscure journal (The Annual Proceedings of the Natural History Society of Brunn in 1865 in the paper entitled Experiments in plant Hybridization)

b)Scientists failed to notice his work because at that time they were busy with the controversy arisen by Darwin's Theory on the Origin of Species.

c)scientists of that period were ignorant about cytological basis of heredity. Mendel's concept was far ahead of his time.

d)Mendel himself was not very sure of his findings.

e)Mendel lacked an aggressive approach.
