    2. Who is Gregor Mendel? Mendel grew up on a small farm in what is today the Czech Republic. In 1843, Mendel entered an Augustinian monastery. He studied at the University of Vienna from 1851 to 1853 where he was influenced by a physicist who encouraged experimentation and the application of mathematics to science and a botanist who aroused Mendel’s interest in the causes of variation in plants.

    3. Gregor’s Interests After the university, Mendel taught at the Brunn Modern School and lived in the local monastery. The monks at this monastery had a long tradition of interest in the breeding of plants, including peas. Around 1857, Mendel began breeding garden peas to study inheritance.

    4. Violating the Pea Plants Each pea plant has male (stamens) and female (carpal) sexual organs. In nature, pea plants typically self-fertilize, fertilizing ova with their own sperm. However, Mendel could also move pollen from one plant to another to cross-pollinate plants.
