Abstract

Gregor Mendel was born on July 20, 1822 as Johann Mendel, in the small village of Hynčice (german name Heizendorf bei Odrau), Silesia (then part of the Austrian Empire, and today the Czech Republic). A local teacher and priest noticed Johann’s intelligence and helped him to continue his education. In case he joins the Augustinians – a church order that deals with teaching, the church would pay for his education. Young Mendel was ordained in 1843 in the monastery of Brünn (today Brno). Respecting the Augustinian rules, he also chose a new name – Gregor. Gregor Johann Mendel made a huge contribution to world science. This is why this work is dedicated to him.

Introduction

Gregor Johann Mendel (1822- 1884.; Czech scientist and monk) crossed distinct types of pea plants of the equal species; accordingly the offspring have been fertile [1]. In addition, he picked easy both-or traits, qualitative traits, that occurred to be because of single genes. He turned into additionally fortunate that withinside the traits he chose, one allele absolutely ruled the expression of the opposite allele, which isn’t always constantly the case. However, one characteristic of Mendel’s studies turned into now no longer because of luck. Over seven years, even as elevating over 28,000 pea plants, he counted all offspring as opposed to being content, as researchers earlier than him had been, with a verbal precis of the everyday effects.

Mendel studied seven qualitative traits of the pea plant, consisting of whether or not the seed turned into smooth or wrinkled. He received 22 types of the pea plant that differed in those seven characteristics. All the sorts have been authentic-breeding plants: people who constantly yield the equal end result whilst crossed with the equal sort of plant. Mendel supplied the effects of 8 years of studies at the pea plant in his 1866 paper. This paper, “Experiments with Plant Hybrids,” now forms the cornerstone of genetics and is one of the maximum influential courses withinside the records of science.

Given those observations, Mendel deduced a easy rationalization regarding hypotheses. First, every person has hereditary “factors,” now referred to as alleles (alternate types of a gene). For Mendel’s pea plants, those alleles decided whether or not the seed turned into wrinkled or clean. Thus, every determine has alleles (both the equal or distinct) however transmits best one of the alleles to every offspring. The 2d speculation is that, whilst an person’s alleles are distinct, one allele can dominate the opposite. These hypotheses well give an explanation for the data.

Insights

Although inheritance of organic trends has been diagnosed for hundreds of years, the primary vast insights into the way it takes area best came about approximately a hundred and fifty years ago [2]. In 1866, Gregor Johann Mendel posted the effects of a sequence of experiments that could lay the muse for the formal area of genetics. Mendel’s work went in large part omitted till the flip of the 20 th century, however eventually, the idea of the gene as a wonderful hereditary unit turned into mounted. Since then, the approaches wherein genes, as segments of chromosomes, are transmitted to offspring and manage trends were clarified. Research persevered unabated at some stage in the 20 th century and into the present—indeed, research in genetics, maximum these days on the molecular level, have remained at the forefront of organic studies for the reason that early 1900s.

When Mendel started out his research of inheritance the usage of Pisum sativum, the garden pea, chromosomes and the position and mechanism of meiosis have been completely unknown. Nevertheless, he decided that discrete devices of inheritance exist and anticipated their conduct withinside the formation of gametes. Subsequent investigators, with get entry to to cytological data, have been capin a position to narrate their very own observations of chromosome conduct all through meiosis and Mendel’s concepts of inheritance. Once this correlation turned into diagnosed, Mendel’s postulates have been ordinary as the premise for the have a take a observe of what’s referred to as transmission genetics—how genes are transmitted from mother and father to offspring. These concepts have been derived immediately from Mendel’s experimentation

Mendel’s First Law

Although Huntington ailment and phenylketonuria, examples of hereditary transmission of intellectual problems, can also additionally appear complicated, they may be defined by means of a easy set of policies approximately heredity [1]. Mendel studied inheritance in pea plants withinside the garden of his monastery in what’s now the Czech Republic. On the premise of his many experiments, Mendel concluded that there are “factors” of heredity for every trait in every person and that those factors separate, or segregate, all through reproduction. Ofspring acquire one of the factors from every determine. In addition, Mendel concluded that any such factors can “dominate” the opposite, in order that an person with simply one dominant detail will show the trait. A nondominant, or recessive, detail is expressed best if each factors are recessive. These conclusions are the essence of Mendel’s first law, the law of segregation.

No one paid any interest to Mendel’s law of heredity for over 30 years. Finally, withinside the early 1900s, numerous scientists recognized that Mendel’s law is a preferred law of inheritance, now no longer one extraordinary to the pea plant. Mendel’s “elements” at the moment are referred to as genes, the fundamental devices of heredity. Some genes can also additionally likely have best one shape inside a populace, for instance, in all individuals of a number of pea plants or all individuals of an inbred pressure of mice. However, genetic analyses focus on genes which have diferent forms: diferences that purpose a few pea seeds to be wrinkled or clean, or that purpose a few human beings to have Huntington ailment or PKU (phenylketonuria). The opportunity types of a gene are referred to as alleles. An person’s mixture of alleles is its genotype, while the discovered trends are its phenotype. The essential difficulty of heredity withinside the behavioral sciences is the volume to which diferences in genotype account for diferences in phenotype, discovered diferences amongst people.

Mendel’s Second Law

Not best do the alleles for Huntington disease segregate independently all through gamete formation, they’re additionally inherited independently from the alleles for PKU [1]. This fnding makes experience, due to the fact Huntington ailment and PKU are because of diferent genes; every of the 2 genes is inherited independently. Mendel experimented systematically with crosses among types of pea plants that difered in or greater trends. He observed that alleles for the 2 genes assort independently. In different words, the inheritance of 1 gene isn’t always afected by means of the inheritance of some other gene. This is Mendel’s regulation of unbiased assortment.

Most crucial approximately Mendel’s 2nd regulation are its exceptions. We now understand that genes aren’t simply foating round in eggs and sperm. They are carried on chromosomes. The time period chromosome actually means “coloured body,” due to the fact in positive laboratory arrangements the staining characteristics of those systems are diferent from the ones of the relaxation of the nucleus of the cell. Genes are positioned at locations referred to as loci (singular, locus, from the Latin, meaning “place”) on chromosomes. Eggs include simply one chromosome from every pair of the mother’s set of chromosomes, and sperm include simply one from every pair of the father’s set. An egg fertilized by means of a sperm accordingly has the entire chromosome complement, which, in human beings, is 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Experiments

Mendel’s name will for all time be related to peas: round or wrinkled, yellow or inexperienced, tall or short [3]. But it turned into now no longer best his desire of experimental organism and his desire of trends that made Mendel’s fulfillment feasible. The fundamental premise underlying Mendel’s experiments represented an crucial shift in approach. Although he didn’t understand approximately DNA or chromosomes, he got here to recognise that every determine contributed to its progeny some of separate and wonderful factors of heredity (“factors” as he referred to as them—in cutting-edge phrases, genes). More crucial nevertheless, he found out that every of those parental elements remained unchanged because it turned into exceeded from one technology to the next.

Given the unchanging nature of those elements, Mendel got down to tune their motion via generations of pea flowers by means of gazing the advent of the trends related to them, consisting of spherical or wrinkled seeds. He idea in quantitative, numerical phrases. Mendel did now no longer ask simply “What types of peas are present?” withinside the progeny of a go, however additionally “What are their numerical ratios?” He proceeded by means of carrying out easy crossing experiments after which searched for statistical regularities that would discover preferred policies. In his very own words, he desired to “decide the quantity of various paperwork wherein hybrid progeny appear” and, amongst those, to “verify their numerical interrelationships.”

Mendel decided on peas for his experiments for two reasons. First, he had get entry to to sorts that differed in observable opportunity traits, consisting of spherical as opposed to wrinkled seeds, or yellow as opposed to inexperienced seeds. Second, his initial research had indicated that peas typically reproduce by means of self-fertilization, wherein pollen produced in a flower is used to fertilize the eggs withinside the equal flower. Left alone, pea flora constantly selffertilize. Carrying out a go among distinct sorts is simply very tedious. One have to open the keel petal (which encloses the reproductive systems), eliminate the immature anthers (the pollen-generating systems) earlier than they shed pollen, and dust the stigma (a part of the female structure) with mature pollen taken from a flower on a distinct plant.

Modern Context

In discussing Mendel’s effects with spherical and wrinkled peas from a cutting-edge factor of view, we have to be cautious to specify how the trait is examined [3]. To keep away from confusion, we use the phrases morphological trait and molecular trait. A morphological trait is one this is manifest, it seems that proven, and effortlessly perceived by means of the senses. A molecular trait is one which may be perceived best by way of unique methods, consisting of gel electrophoresis, that permit variations among molecules to be visualized. Classical geneticists studied in the main morphological trends (even though their observations have been once in a while aided by means of units consisting of the microscope). Modern geneticists have a take a observe morphological trends too, however they generally complement this with molecular evaluation the usage of strategies consisting of gel electrophoresis and DNA sequencing. With regard to spherical and wrinkled peas, the morphological trait corresponds to whether or not the form of a seed is obviously spherical or wrinkled. The molecular trait corresponds to the sample of bands in an electrophoresis gel: whether or not the DNA extracted from a seed yields one swiftly migrating band, one slowly migrating band, or bands.

Morphological trends are regularly dominant or recessive, however this is not always authentic of molecular trends. The authentic-breeding pressure with spherical seeds has a single swiftly migrating band, the authentic-breeding pressure with wrinkled seeds has a single slowly migrating band, and the progeny of the cross (which has spherical seeds) show off each bands.

In different words, the progeny of the go among the authenticbreeding lines display the molecular trait related to each types of the gene (on this case, a swiftly migrating DNA band in conjunction with a slowly migrating DNA band). In conditions wherein opportunity types of a gene can each be detected whilst they’re found in a cell or organism, we are saying that the types of the gene are codominant. Molecular trends are frequently (but by no means always) codominant.

Mendelian Disorders

It is crucial to differentiate among checking out for singlegene (Mendelian) and multi-gene (complex) disorders [4]. In Mendelian disorders, a “defective” gene can also additionally confer a actually a hundred percentage opportunity for the manifestation of the disorder (Huntington’s, for instance) or a significant increase in opportunity (as is the case with the “breast cancer genes” BRCA1 and BRCA2).

Mendelian problems (as a minimum the ones which have been characterised to date) commonly arise in exceedingly described and frequently small populations, with a occurrence of best one in one-thousand—or fewer—of the entire populace; due to this, lots of them are categorized as “uncommon illnesses.” Testing for Mendelian problems takes place in the main withinside the conventional scientific setting, and take a look at effects suggest a selected boom in opportunity—facts this is clinically useful.

In contrast, complicated problems have a tendency to be pretty not unusualplace, which include the “big four”— Alzheimer’s, cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes—and in reality are once in a while mentioned the usage of the shorthand “not unusualplace illnesses.” Tests for complicated problems are commercially to be had in the main via direct-to-purchaser genetic checking out companies. The frequency with which many complicated problems arise, mixed with the very human choice to understand—and the desire thereby to “manage”—one’s future, have elevated call for for DTC genetic checking out. Unlike genetic exams for Mendelian problems, however, exams for complicated problems are simply predictive of an altered hazard related to growing a ailment. However, with the modern facts on SNP associations, absolutely the dangers have a tendency to be low and aren’t of significant utility to adjust preferred of care.

PKU

Mendel’s law additionally explains the inheritance of PKU [1]. Unlike HD (Huntington disease), PKU is because of the presence of recessive alleles. For offspring to be affected, they have to have copies of the PKU allele. Those offspring with best one reproduction of the PKU allele aren’t stricken with the disorder. They are referred to as providers due to the fact they convey the allele and might byskip it directly to their offspring. Each determine has one PKU allele and one ordinary allele. Offspring have a 50 percentage threat of inheriting the PKU allele from one determine and a 50 percentage threat of inheriting the PKU allele from the opposite determine. The threat of each these items occurring is 25 percentage. If you turn a coin, the threat of heads is 50 percentage. The threat of having heads in a row is 25 percentage (i.e., 50 percentage instances 50 percentage).

This sample of inheritance explains why unafected mother and father have kids with PKU and why the hazard of PKU in ofspring is 25 percentage whilst each mother and father are providers. For PKU and different recessive problems, identifcation of the genes makes it feasible to decide whether or not capacity mother and father are providers. Identifcation of the PKU gene additionally makes it feasible to decide whether or not a selected being pregnant entails an afected fetus. In truth, all newborns in maximum international locations are screened for multiplied phenylalanine stages of their blood, due to the fact early prognosis of PKU can assist mother and father save you retardation by means of serving low-phenylalanine diets to their afected kids.

Inheritance

In a species, the unmarried gene chargeable for a trait occupies a selected locus on a chromosome [5]. Each unmarried reproduction of the gene at that locus is called an allele. One allele is inherited from every determine. Within the human populace, it’s miles feasible for there to be many distinct variations of a ordinary gene at one locus—those are termed polymorphisms. The variations among alleles can consequently be because of polymorphic variant or mutation. An alteration withinside the gene collection is stated to be a mutation if it takes place in much less than 1% of the populace, irrespective of whether or not the extrade has a phenotypic impact. However, in genetic healthcare, the time period mutation is frequently used withinside the context of a ailment-inflicting alteration. If an organism contains same alleles at a locus, they’re stated to be homozygous, while if they convey distinct alleles at a locus they’re heterozygous. In human genetics, there are 5 styles of conventional inheritance. These are frequently called Mendelian styles after the father of genetic science, Gregor Mendel. These are:

i. autosomal dominant;

ii. autosomal recessive;

iii. X-linked recessive;

iv. X-linked dominant;

v. Y-linked.

Genetic situations may be inherited in numerous approaches [6]. Typical Mendelian patterns of inheritance of mutations in single genes are autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, X-linked recessive, X-linked dominant, and Y. In addition to ordinary Mendelian patterns and multifactorial inheritance, popularity of mitochondrial problems because of mitochondrial inheritance has been exceedingly latest. The conventional knowhow concerning transmission of genetic problems continues to be essentially correct. However, new know-how of what are referred to as nontraditional inheritance mechanisms were recognized. These consist of uniparental disomy, genomic imprinting, risky or increasing triplet repeat mutations, and gonadal mosaicism. Aspects of gene motion and expression impact the manifestation of genetic problems as well.

Colors

Mendel studied characters that have been either/or with the crimson and white flora, and the various different trends he investigated in those flora, however many characters can’t be categorized on this manner due to the fact the characters range withinside the populace in gradations [7]. These are referred to as quantitative characters; examples in human beings consist of pores and skin shadeation and height. Quantitative variant generally shows polygenic inheritance, that is an additive impact of or greater genes on a single phenotypic character. This is the other of pleiotropy, in which a single gene influences many phenotypic characters. Here we’ve masses of genes operating on simply one thing.

Polygenes that have an effect on a selected quantitative trait are normally observed on many distinct chromosomes. Genes are quite simple and that they code for easy matters. Thus, complicated matters require the contribution of several genes. Even matters that we would remember easy, consisting of hair color or eye color, are coded for by means of numerous genes. A precise instance is human pores and skin color. Humans fluctuate in the quantity of melanin (darkish pigment) observed of their pores and skin. There is a high-quality variant in the quantity of melanin that distinct human beings have, however a whole lot of this alteration is a end result of as a minimum 3 one by one inherited genes. There can be greater, however for simplicity’s sake, allow us to simply have a take a observe 3 genes, with a darkish pores and skin allele for every, A, B, and C, every contributing one “unit” of darkness to the phenotype and being incompletely dominant over the opposite alleles a, b, and c. Someone who has AABBCC could be very darkish, and a person with aabbcc could be very mild. AaBbCc could be intermediate. If you’re making a calculation, you may see that there can be a extensive variety of graded values from very light to very darkish. You also can see how human beings of intermediate pores and skin shadeation may want to nevertheless produce offspring with both very darkish or very mild pores and skin. Also, pores and skin shadeation isn’t always absolutely decided by means of genotype; we will disclose ourselves to the solar to supply greater melanin.

The surroundings may have an impact on the interpretation of the genotype into the phenotype. Nutrition, workout, revel in, and different activities all adjust the phenotype. Nutrition influences size, workout influences frame form, and revel in can have an effect on IQ. Even same twins aren’t surely same even though they’re genetic equals; they nevertheless acquire phenotypic variations because of their particular lifestyles experiences. In the instance of the Siamese cat, coat shadeation mixture with a mild frame and darkish ears, face, tail, and feet. Coat shadeation is managed genetically, however the surroundings has a sturdy impact at the phenotype. These darkened regions at the cat simply have a barely decrease temperature than the relaxation of the body. Experiments have proven that the Siamese cat has a genotype with darkish fur, however it best seems at temperatures really underneath the overall frame temperature. If a few darkish fur is shaved from the tail and the cat is then saved at a better than ordinary temperature, the fur that grows returned can be mild. On the opposite hand, if the cat is shaved and made to put on an ice % on a typically mild vicinity, the spot this is saved cool grows returned with darkish hair. So, genotype and surroundings engage to decide the phenotype of the organism.

The impact that the surroundings has at the phenotype varies dramatically. It has no or little impact on a few matters, like eye shadeation, and a first-rate impact on different matters, consisting of conduct. There is genuinely a genetic foundation for conduct however the surroundings has a sturdy impact. In truth, maximum conduct is genetically predetermined to be tormented by the surroundings. It is designed to be improved, modified, and modified by means of mastering and revel in.

Single-Gene Mutations

Although maximum human genetic illnesses are polygenic— this is, because of versions in numerous genes—even a single base-pair extrade in one of the about 20,000 human genes can cause a extreme inherited disorder [2]. These monogenic illnesses may be because of many distinct styles of single-gene mutations. A complete database of human genes, mutations, and problems is to be had withinside the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database. As of 2018, the OMIM database has cataloged about 5000 human phenotypes for which the molecular foundation is regarded.

Geneticists estimate that about 30 percentage of mutations that purpose human illnesses are unmarried basepair adjustments that create nonsense mutations. These mutations now no longer best code for a in advance terminated protein product, however additionally cause fast decay of the mRNA. Many greater mutations are missense mutations that adjust the amino acid collection of a protein and frameshift mutations that adjust the protein collection and create inner nonsense codons. Other not unusualplace ailment-related mutations have an effect on the sequences of gene promoters, mRNA splicing signals, and different noncoding sequences that have an effect on transcription, processing, and balance of mRNA or protein. One latest have a take a observe confirmed that approximately 15 percentage of all factor mutations that purpose human genetic illnesses bring about extraordinary mRNA splicing. Approximately eighty five percentage of those splicing mutations adjust the collection of 5′ and 3′ splice signals. The the rest create new splice sites withinside the gene. Splicing defects frequently bring about degradation of the extraordinary mRNA or introduction of extraordinary protein products.

FMR1

The circumstance referred to as the delicate X syndrome is 2d best to Down syndrome as a first-rate purpose of intellectual retardation and is associated with defects withinside the FMR1 (for Fragile X Mental Retardation-1), or absolutely fragile X gene [8]. The call derives from the truth that affected chromosomes display an inducible disorder all through karyotype research, which purpose a fragile, constricted vicinity to shape on the tip of the lengthy arm of the X chromosome. The discovered disorder pertains to enlargement of a set of cytosine–guanine– guanine repeating sequences (CGG repeats) that takes place at the start of the FMR1 gene (and aren’t translated into protein). Normal people have approximately 30 repeats, and affected people with complete mutations have two hundred to 4,000 repeats. The genetics of the ailment is complicated and does now no longer comply with easy Mendelian policies. Carrier people have 60 to two hundred repeats, a circumstance termed a premutation, and aren’t affected.

However, premutations are risky and generally tend to develop from technology to technology as they’re exceeded from father to grandchild via a female. The tendency for a mutation to turn out to be worse with every technology is called genetic anticipation. The ailment is expressed greater regularly in males with complete mutations than in females (for unknown reasons). About 1 in 1,600 men as opposed to 1 in 8,000 girls is affected. Affected girls commonly have a milder shape of the ailment. About half of females heterozygous for a chromosome with the entire mutation explicit the ailment.

The high-quality extra of CGG repeats reasons intellectual retardation due to the fact the big quantity of repeats blocks the characteristic of the gene. As a end result, no gene product is produced, interfering with the formation and characteristic of synapses withinside the fearful system, that is the obvious purpose of the mental retardation. Individuals with excessive types of the ailment have markedly decreased IQs, a totally lengthy face with out-turned ears, and appreciably very big testicles (macro-orchidism). Although karyotype evaluation turned into to start with used to outline the ailment, cutting-edge strategies depend upon molecular research of the shape of the gene and, in particular, the quantity of CGG repeats.

DNA

When Gregor Mendel posted his go breeding experiments with peas in 1866, the genetic age made a silent start, and till 1900, he maintained his silence and had a pause [9]. Mendel’s experiments were also confirmed by Hugo DeVries, Karl Correns, and Errich Von Tschemark in 1900, and seeing that then they have got persevered to make a massive effect withinside the global of science. The “heredity unit” which turned into referred to as in Mendel research turned into named as “gene” by Walter S. Sutton in 1902. In 1941, George W. Beadle and Edward L.

Tatum proposed a gene-an enzyme hypothesis. In 1944, Owald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty determined that the genetic material turned into DNA and will be transformed. Morgan, even as operating with Drosophila melanogaster, a fruit fly, observed that a number of the flies had white-eye flies the various maximum not unusualplace red-eye (wild-type) flies and referred to as those white-eye flies as mutants. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick defined the conformational shape of DNA. Subsequent research have centered at the have a take a observe of linking enzymes and proteins to genes, and feature attempted to discover what adjustments in DNA shape cause adjustments withinside the phenotype of dwelling matters. These researchers commenced those research by means of the usage of organisms with phenotypic variations visible withinside the populace at the start, then they improved their research by means of converting the phenotype of the organism themselves (forming mutant organisms) by means of the usage of marketers that could extrade the genetic material.

Today, it’s miles feasible to decide whether or not there are genotypic variations with out looking ahead to phenotypic variations to be discovered. This determination is made at the genetic fabric, the DNA molecule. For greater than 70 years we’ve regarded that genetic fabric is chargeable for sporting out mobile capabilities. The DNA molecule is chargeable for the execution of all organic capabilities in our cells and is a totally strong molecule. This balance have to be maintained in a ordinary cell. Due to physical, chemical or organic elements, once in a while stabilization can’t be maintained and balance can also additionally range. Disruption of the genome balance is referred as genomic instability. In one of these case, abnormalities withinside the cell can also additionally arise relying at the components in which the extrade main to stabilization takes place. For instance; O6-methylguanine-DNA methyl transferase (MGMT), which performs an crucial position in DNA restore mechanism, has a cysteine amino acid that binds the methyl institution withinside the methylated nucleotide to itself. If a mutation takes place to purpose some other amino acid to update this cysteine amino acid, the methyl institution will now no longer be capable of be cleaved from the DNA and a extrade will arise withinside the manage of gene expression with a view to bring about abnormalities withinside the cell.

Total transcripts in human genome (Protein-coding transcripts, Non-experience mediated decay transcripts, Long non-coding RNA loci transcripts) are expected to be as a whole lot as 208,621. 58,870 genes in those transcripts are protein encoding genes, non-coding RNA genes, pseudogenes, and immunoglobulin/T-cellreceptor gene segments, and there are 24,494 protein-encoding genes (https://omim.org/statistics/ entry) inside those genes. As of July 8, 2019, 6,452 phenotypes with regarded molecular foundation were recognized and 4,114 of those phenotypes are related to mutations (https://www. omim.org/statistics/geneMap). As it will likely be expressed later withinside the section, in anyone of the 208,621 transcripts, there may be a opportunity that mutations of comparable or different forms can also additionally arise. When mutations first started out to be recognized, the point of interest turned into in the main on proteincoding sequences. However, research have began now no longer best on protein-coding sequences however additionally on all sequences that have an effect on the functioning of the gene, and paintings on this vicinity continues to be ongoing. In truth, numerous databases were mounted when it comes to phenotypic adjustments in people because of adjustments in human gene or extra-genic sequences (http://www.hgvs.org/content/ databases-tools).

The genome shape of the dwelling matters can also additionally extrade because of mutations in DNA sequences of regulatory gene, operator, promotor, enhancer, insulator, etc. may want to cause disruption in their interplay with DNA-protein, RNAprotein, protein-protein, miRNA-RNA, or even protein-different biomolecules, that have crucial roles withinside the cellular capabilities. As a end result of the disruption of interactions among those molecules, abnormalities arise withinside the cell. Therefore, a number of illnesses that could adversely have an effect on the lifestyles can also additionally arise and might immediately have an effect on the viability of the cell. This indicates how crucial it’s miles to hold genomic completeness.

Conclusion

People have known since ancient times that traits are passed from parent to offspring because children inevitably resembled their parents. From the moment plants and animals began to be bred, people deliberately mated individuals that showed better traits. This method of cultivation is called controlled. Throughout history, controlled breeding has often been successful but sometimes disastrous. However, no one knew why this was so. In Mendel’s time, people did not yet understand the mechanisms of inheritance because they really only then began to understand the process of reproduction. Many biologists still argued over the question of the individual roles of male and female parents in the creation of offspring. Mendel believed that both parents have equal shares in the offspring - that each parent gives one gamete that fuses into a fertilized egg or zygote. It was clear that gametes must carry hereditary information, but no one was quite sure how that information got there in the first place. Mendel enjoyed teaching, with great enthusiasm he tried to arouse in others an interest in learning and research. He gave lectures at the Natural History Society in Brno with the aim of getting other researchers to follow in his footsteps and try to repeat his experiments. Considering that no one had done this in his lifetime, Mendel died somewhat disappointed on January 6, 1884. Despite this, he never completely gave up the hope that the results of his hard work would one day become appreciated.
