This question fascinated Gregor Mendel throughout his life. Regarded as the world's first geneticist, Mendel overcame poverty and obscurity to discover one of the fundamental aspects of genetic science: animals, plants, and people all inherit and pass down traits through the same process, following the same rules. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLiving the slow-paced, contemplative life of a friar, Gregor Mendel was able to conceive and put into practice his great experiment: growing multiple generations of peas. From observing yellow peas, green peas, smooth peas, and wrinkled peas, Mendel crafted his theory of heredity--years before scientists had any notion of genes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChildren will be inspired by Gregor's neverending search for knowledge, and his famous experiments are easy to understand as an introduction to genetics.F\u0026amp;P level: Q\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCheryl Bardoe\u003c\/b\u003e is a former senior project manager of exhibitions at the Field Museum in Chicago.
