Question

Gregor Mendel derived the laws governing inheritance from his breeding of peas. Charles Darwin formalized the theory of evolution after observing that many organisms have traits making them uniquely adapted to the environment in which they lived. Briefly describe the relationship between Mendel's laws and Darwin's theory. How does each help us understand the other? HTML Editor BIVA-A - IX E 31 1 XXE - ol V V ETT 12pt Paragraph

Answer 1

The following conversation between the two great thinkers, Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel, is imaginary. While such a meeting never took place, the monk Mendel had read Darwin's work. Mendel's amazing insight into how genetic information is passed to offspring was only rediscovered many years after his death.Although Darwin's theory of natural selection was basically correct, in the late 1860s he proposed a theory that was very wrong. That theory—”pangenesis”—was an attempt to explain variation among individuals in a species. Offspring in sexual species display a mix of traits from both of their parents.
