The first scientific study leading to formulation of laws of inheritance was carried out by Gregor Johann Mendel. Mendel conducted cross-hybridization experiments on garden Pea plant (Pisum sativum) and studied the transmission of characters. Mendel selected garden pea as experimental material because It is easy to cultivate. Pea plant had several true-breeding lines. The plant had a short (seasonal) life cycle so that transmission of traits from one generation to next could be studied in short period of time. Flowers are naturally self-pollinated and cross-breed manually. Characters chosen by Mendel had distinctive contrasting traits like tall and dwarf or green and yellow seeds. Mendel took one or two characters at…
