Gregor Johann Mendel (20 July 1822 – 6 January 1884) was a German-Czech biologist and geneticist. His work remained obscure for many years and was not known to Darwin. Trofim Lysenko accepted Mendel's discoveries but disputed the claims of later geneticists.
Mendel's experiments with pea plants showed the existence of dominant and recessive traits. For example, when breeding two tall plants with mixed alleles, 75% will be tall and 25% will be short because the tall allele is dominant. Some traits in other organisms are inherited in this way, such as hemophilia in humans, but many are not. Importantly, Mendel had no idea what these alleles actually were or how they could change.[1]
