- Johann Gregor Mendel was a pioneer of modern genetics.
- His breeding experiments in pea plants revealed that hereditary characteristics are determined by discrete factors (genes) that are transmitted to the next generation.
- Mendel studied the nature of inheritance in plants and presented his work in 1885 in the paper titled “Experiments on Plant Hybridisation”.
- In 1961, the French geneticists Francois Jacob and Jack Monad proposed a model for the process of protein synthesis with the help of DNA in bacterial cells. It helped to uncover the genetic codes hidden in DNA.
- In 1902, Walter and Sutton observed the paired chromosomes in the cells of grasshopper.
