3. Gregor Johann Mendel was born in 20 July 1822 in village of
Heinzendorf in northern Moravia then a part of Austria, Now
in Czechoslovakia, near the Silesian border.
Mendel native tongue was the peculiar Silesian dialect of
German; in later life he had to learn to speak Czech.
4. He was the son of Anton and Rosine Mendel.
Mendel had one older sister, Veronika and one younger
Theresia.
They lived and worked on a farm which had been owned by
the Mendel family for at least 130 years.
During his childhood, Mendel worked as a gardner and
beekeeping.
5. From 1840 to 1843, he studied practical and theoretical
philosophy and physics at Philosophical Institute of the
University of Olomouc.
6. He also struggled financially to pay for his studies.
He become a friar in part because it enable him to obtain on
education without having to pay for it himself.
As the son of struggling farmer, the Monastic life in his word,
spared him the “Perpetual anxiety about a means of
livehoods.”
7. He was given a name Gregor when he Joined the Augustinian
Friar.
In 1843 he was admitted as a novice at the Augustinian
Monastery at Brunn.
He took an examination for a teaching certificate in natural
science and failed in 1850.
To remedy this he spent four term between 1851 to 1853, at
the University of Vienna, where he studied Physics, Chemistry,
Mathematics, Zoology, Entomology, Botany and
Palaeontology.
In first term he work in experimental Physics under the
famous Physicist Christian Doppler.
In 1853 Mendel as a teacher of Physics.
8. In 1856 he took the exam to become a certificate teacher and
again failed the oral part.
In 1867, He replaced Napp as a abbot of the monastery.
In 1868 his scientific work largely ended.
Mendel died on 6 January 1884, at the age of 61, in Brno,
Moravia, Austria from Chronic nephritis.
After his death succeeding abbot burned all papers in Mendel
collection to mark an end to the disputes over taxation.
9. In 1856 he began his famous hybridization experiment on
garden pea plant.
In 8 February 1865 and 8 March 1865 he presented his work
in a paper entitled “Versuche uber pflanzenhybriden”
(Experiment on plant hybridization) at two meeting of Natural
Society of Brno.
Mendel papers was published in 1866 in “Verhandlungen des
naturforschenden vereines” (Annual proceeding of natural
history Society) in Brunn.
But Mendel Research ignored by many Scientist community.
10. Its having three reason
Disappointment of Nageli.
Darwin research publication on “ Natural Selection” in 1856.
Mendel published his research paper on not well known
publication because Mendel have no money to published his
research paper on well known publication.
11.
12. In 1900 his findings were rediscovered by three scientist
Hugo De vries from Holland, Karl Correns from Germany and
Erich Tschermark from Austria independently.
De Vries found Mendel’s research paper and he got it
published in “Flora” in 1901.
Correns postulates three law that are known as Mendel’s law
of inheritance.
13. The pea plant which Mendel chose for conducting
experiments, is most ideal for controlled breeding, since it
can easily be subjected to cross pollination.
He identified very clear contrasting characters in the pea
plants.
He maintained an accurate record of all the observations he
made on the breeding experiments that he had designed.
He pooled the data obtained from similar experiments for
different characteristics and analysed the results by using
statistical methods and applying the law of probability.
Recognize mistake’s of previous workers.
