July 22, 1822 (, Imo June fifth day), the founders of modern genetics, Gregor Mendel's birthday.



in the middle of the 19th century, Austria called Mendelian biology teacher, called plant hybridization test to explore the secrets of plant growth in the campus. After dozens of repeated experiments, he found that: (a) has a relatively traits pure parental hybrid, because all individuals have a relative character traits it appeared role, first generation traits. Such as safflower peas with white flowers pea hybrids, the first generation are saffron, saffron on white flowers is dominant. He said the the called "dominant law". (B) in the sub-second generation performance of the separation, no longer always safflower, both saffron and white flowers, as the ratio of three to one. He called this "separation law. (C) He also found that the phenomenon of a separate allocation in the relative traits hybrid two pair or two pairs of the second generation. He called this "independent distribution law. Based on these experiments, he first hereditary units (now called genes) concept. These came to be known as "Mendel's birthday. Target =" _blank "> Mendel's laws".
Mendelian Born on 22 July 1822, Austrian Silesia peasant family near his childhood love gardening . due to difficult family circumstances, did not finish college, to the Bulong a monastery when academicians. chaplaincy in 1847. funded by friends in 1850 to the University of Vienna Faculty of Science Postgraduate where he took part in the Vienna Botanical Society and learn to read papers on pests of crops and the summer of 1853, he returned to Bulong Abbey as the era of flora and fauna of the school teachers. combination of teaching, engaged in plant hybridization experiments finally discovered the laws of genetic Brno Natural Science Association in 1865, published the results of his research, however, the discovery of the laws of Mendelian genetics at the time did not pay attention, until his death in 1884 after 16 years, before the Dutch botanist the Defolisi and Austrian botanists Qiu Xie Make respectively confirmed to become the foundation of modern genetics in Mendel has been recognized as the founders of modern genetics.
