The book explores Gregor Mendel's groundbreaking research on inheritance through his experiments with pea plants, initiated in 1856. It highlights how Mendel identified dominant and recessive traits, establishing foundational principles of genetics. His methodical breeding of hybrid plants revealed predictable patterns in trait inheritance, contributing significantly to the understanding of evolutionary processes, complementing Darwin's theories. Mendel's work laid the groundwork for modern genetics, showcasing the interplay between heredity and evolution.
