 Mendel 's work went largely unnoticed after its first publication in 1866 , but was rediscovered in the late 19th @-@ century by Hugo de Vries , Carl Correns , and Erich von Tschermak , who ( claimed to have ) reached similar conclusions in their own research . Specifically , in 1889 , Hugo de Vries published his book Intracellular Pangenesis , in which he postulated that different characters have individual hereditary carriers and that inheritance of specific traits in organisms comes in particles . De Vries called these units " pangenes " ( Pangens in German ) , after Darwin 's 1868 pangenesis theory .

 Together with Professor H. Hanani , Prawer initiated the mechina university preparatory programs in 1963 , which were originally intended to provide an additional year of study for Sephardic students after discharge from the defense forces , but were later expanded to include foreign educated students and immigrants .

 The father of genetics is Gregor Mendel , a late 19th @-@ century scientist and Augustinian friar . Mendel studied ' trait inheritance ' , patterns in the way traits were handed down from parents to offspring . He observed that organisms ( pea plants ) inherit traits by way of discrete " units of inheritance " . This term , still used today , is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene .

 Scientists looking back on the Avery – MacLeod – McCarty experiment have disagreed about just how influential it was in the 1940s and early 1950s . Gunther Stent suggested that it was largely ignored , and only celebrated afterwards — similarly to Gregor Mendel 's work decades before the rise of genetics . Others , such as Joshua Lederberg and Leslie C. Dunn , attest to its early significance and cite the experiment as the beginning of molecular genetics .

 This was the start of a movement to downgrade Mendelssohn 's status as a composer which lasted almost a century , the echoes of which still survive today in critiques of Mendelssohn 's supposed mediocrity .
