The study of genetics originated with Gregor Mendel, who observed patterns in inherited characteristics of pea plants in his garden. Mendel deduced that traits are determined by what would later be termed genes, which are passed on from parents to children, forming the basis of modern genetics. After Mendel, scientists like Weismann, Galton, Bateson, and Castle built upon his discovery to advance the knowledge of genetic inheritance in plants and animals, including humans. These scientists' work uncovered the mechanisms of mutations, dominant and recessive traits, and Mendelian inheritance, providing a more profound understanding of the variation and continuity of life. This book also touches on the interwoven relationship between biology, environment, and inheritance in the development and characteristics of all living organisms.
