Heredity is how characteristics are passed form  parents to offspring.  Today’s advances in genetics started with  the work of an Austrian monk, Gregor Mendel.  Mendel began his experiments with pea plants. He knew that each characteristic exists as one of two variations or forms of  the character. (Examples are flower color, seed color, pod shape). Mendel applied experimental methods to the study of inheritance in plants.

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who developed the basis of genetics and heredity. Due to his contributions to this field, Gregor Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics.

Mendel used simple pea plants to study variations and inheritance. Based on his findings, Mendel formulated the two laws:

Law of segregation

Law of Independent Assortment

It was due to Mendel's work that the concept of alleles passing independently to offspring was made clear. Mendel's study also formed the basis of studying the dominant and recessive traits.

"do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant."

do yall know the answer?
