Solution

Mendel's work remained unrecognized from 1865 to 1900 because of the following reasons:
  1. He was a monk and not a scientist.
  2. The people (scientists) in the rest of the world were engrossed in Darwin's work and his theory of evolution.
  3. Mendel's theories of inheritance and heredity were in opposition to Darwin's theories.
  4. His work and results on inheritance were mostly accidental.
