Mendel

mendelism
Mendel's laws; the proposition that characteristics are inherited as units independently of each other; genes (factors) separate (segregate) from one another and later recombine in various ways in germ cells; characteristics are in pairs, ...

Mendel's results were largely neglected. Though they were not completely unknown to biologists of the time, they were not seen as being important.

Mendel's Hypothesis
To explain his results, Mendel formulated a hypothesis that included the following:
In the organism there is a pair of factors that controls the appearance of a given characteristic. (We call them genes.) ...

Mendel proposed instead a theory of particulate inheritance, in which characteristics were determined by discrete units of inheritance that were passed intact from one generation to the next.

Mendel was a monk whose controlled experiments with breeding peas in the monastery garden led him to conclude that the heritable units we now call genes were not blends of parental traits but separate physical entities passed individually in ...

Mendel's experimental organism was a common garden pea (Pisum sativum), which has a flower that lends itself to self-pollination. The male parts of the flower are termed the anthers. They produce pollen, which contains the male gametes (sperm).

In cases of maternal effect, the transmission pattern of the alleles is the same as in standard Mendelian genetics but the action of the gene occurs a generation later.
