Gregor Johann Mendel (Czech: ÅehoÅ Jan Mendel; 20 July 1822 â 6 January 1884) (English /ËmÉndÉl/) was a German-speaking Moravian-Silesian scientist and Augustinian friar and abbot of St. Thomas' Abbey in Brno who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the modern science of genetics.
Gregor Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics for his pioneering work with pea plant genetics. However, he only was able to describe simple or complete dominance patterns in individuals based on what he saw with the pea plants.
