Answer 1

The correct option is B Mendel presented his work in the form of a paper at Heinzendorf in 1856

Gregor Johann Mendel, an Austrian Monk, born in Heinzendorf. He discovered the principles of heredity through the experiments on the pea plant. Mendel conducted hybridization experiments on garden peas for seven years and proposed the laws of inheritance in living organisms.
