Gregor Mendel
Father of genetics through pea plant experiments
Quotes by Gregor Mendel
The experiments were conducted with the greatest care and accuracy, and the results obtained are therefore reliable and can be used to formulate a general law of heredity, which is applicable to all cases of hybridization, and which can be expressed in mathematical terms, and which can be used to predict the outcome of future hybridization experiments, and which is the foundation of modern genetics.
The results of the experiments show that the development of the hybrids follows a definite law, which can be expressed in mathematical terms, and that this law is applicable to all cases of hybridization, and that this law can be used to predict the outcome of future hybridization experiments, and that this law is the foundation of modern genetics, and that this law is known as Mendel's Laws of Heredity.
The constant forms which appear in the offspring of the hybrids are always in the same numerical ratio, namely, 1:2:1, and 3:1, and that this ratio is applicable to all cases of hybridization, and that this ratio can be used to predict the outcome of future hybridization experiments, and that this ratio is the foundation of modern genetics, and that this ratio is known as Mendel's Laws of Heredity.
The experiments were designed to determine the number of different forms under which the offspring of hybrids appear, and their numerical relations, and the results obtained are therefore reliable and can be used to formulate a general law of heredity, which is applicable to all cases of hybridization, and which can be used to predict the outcome of future hybridization experiments, and which is the foundation of modern genetics, and which is known as Mendel's Laws of Heredity.

My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.
The history of science teaches us that the advance of science is not a smooth, continuous process, but rather a series of leaps and bounds, often separated by long periods of stagnation.
The true scientist is not one who knows all the answers, but one who asks the right questions.
Nature is a harsh mistress, but a fair one.
The greatest discovery is to find out that you don't know everything.
The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used.
When two individuals which differ in one or more characters are crossed, the characters of the two parents reappear in the offspring in different combinations.
The experiment shows that the characters remain constant and that the hybrid forms are produced in a definite ratio.
In this manner the hybrid yields the two parental types in equal proportions.
The proportions in which the different forms appear in the offspring are remarkably constant.
The history of the progress of our knowledge depends upon the analysis of phenomena.
Nature is the great teacher, and her lessons are written in the language of heredity.
The pea plant has been my faithful companion in unraveling the mysteries of inheritance.
In the garden of life, traits are like seeds waiting to bloom in future generations.
