Question

Did you know? Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of heredity between 1856 and 1865 by growing 28,000 pea plants in his monastery garden. His work was entirely ignored during his lifetime; only in 1900 did three biologists independently rediscover the same laws and Mendel had to be credited posthumously.

Gregor Mendel ontdekte tussen 1856 en 1865 de wetten van erfelijkheid door 28.000 erwten-planten te kweken in zijn kloostertuin. Zijn werk werd in zijn leven volledig genegeerd; pas in 1900 herontdekten drie biologen onafhankelijk dezelfde wetten en moest Mendel postuum krediet krijgen.
