Solution
The correct option is D William Bateson
The Father of genetics, Gregor Johann Mendel in 1865 presented the result of his experiments with nearly 30,000 pea plants (Pisum sativum). Mendel’s work went virtually unnoticed and unappreciated by the scientific community for almost 34 years, as at that particular time blending inheritance of parental traits into the offsprings were more accepted and appreciated. More than three decades later, three scientists named Erich Von Tschermak from Austria, Hugo de Vries from Netherland and a German botanist named Carl Correns independently experimented and rediscovered the principles of heredity which were already worked out by Mendel.
William Bateson was a British biologist who first used the terms such as 'genetics', 'homozygous', 'heterozygous', etc to describe the study of heredity.
