How Did Gregor Mendel Made The Law Of Dominant

Mendel the Magnificent Many attributes make up a good scientist, Gregor Mendel exhibits many of these attributes. In my opinion, the 3 most important traits are being courageous, motivated and humble. Gregor was considered the father of genetics, opening doors to about genetics nobody ever dare to question. Gregor was courageous when he decided to test the theory “Over generations, a hybrid would revert to its original form, the implication of which suggested that a hybrid could not create new forms”(Biography.com Editors). This theory is about how over the course of generations of an animal, a hybrid would be incapable of creating new forms and that it would go back to its original form. The theory was never fully proved to due to previous experiments being too short. Gregor did an experiment where he crossed bred many different pea plants over the course of 10 years (1856-1863). To prove whether or not the theory was true. After the experiment …show more content…
He spent 10 years testing the theory and he was motivated to see the theory to the end. He had enough motivation to create another very popular law during the pea plant experiments. He created the Law of Dominance, The Law of Dominance is about how if there is a dominant trait and a recessive trait, the dominant trait would be expressed rather than the recessive one. He noticed when he bred 2 short pea plants together and the offspring became a tall pea plant, causing him to question how traits are passed down. After several more experiments his conclusion was “In a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only one form of the trait will appear in the next generation. Offspring that are hybrid for a trait will have only the dominant trait in the phenotype” (SrushtiK). He also developed the concept that if there is no dominant trait then the recessive would be freely
