Genetics: Understanding Heredity and Traits through Gregor Mendel's Work

Genetics is the study of heredity, where living organisms inherit characteristics from their parents. This field, pioneered by Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk who worked with garden peas, explores traits like height, pod shape, and flower color. Through processes like fertilization and pollination, organisms pass on genetic information. Key concepts include true breeding, cross breeding, dominant, recessive, and hybrid traits. Dive into the fascinating world of genetics as you unravel the mysteries of inheritance!
