In the mid-1800s, the rules underlying patterns of inheritance were uncovered in a series of experiments performed by an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel.

Mendel's Plant Breeding Experiments
Gregor Mendel was one of the first to apply an experimental approach to the question of inheritance.
For seven years, Mendel bred pea plants and recorded inheritance patterns in the offspring.
Particulate Hypothesis of Inheritance Parents pass on to their offspring separate and distinct factors (today called genes) that are responsible for inherited traits.

How Mendel BeganHow Mendel BeganMendel Mendel produced produced purepure strains by strains by allowing allowing the plants the plants to to self-self-pollinatepollinate for for several several generatiogenerationsns
Mendel was fortunate he chose the Garden Pea
•Mendel probably chose to work with peas because they are available in many varieties.
•The use of peas also gave Mendel strict control over which plants mated.
•Fortunately, the pea traits are distinct and were clearly contrasting.
To test the particulate hypothesis, Mendel crossed true-breeding plants that had two distinct and contrasting traits—for example, purple or white flowers.
What is meant by “true breeding?”
Mendel cross-fertilized his plants by hand. Why is it important to control which plants would serve as the parents?
For each monohybrid cross, Mendel cross-fertilized true-breeding plants that were different in just one character—in this case, flower color. He then allowed the hybrids (the F1 generation) to self-fertilize.
Typical breeding experiment P generation (parental generation)
F1 generation (first filial generation, the word filial from the Latin word for "son") are the hybrid offspring.
Allowing these F1 hybrids to self-pollinate produces:
F2 generation (second filial generation).
It is the analysis of this that lead to an understanding of genetic crosses.

Genetic traits in humans can be tracked through family pedigrees
The inheritance of many human traits follows Mendel’s principles and the rules of probability

Family pedigrees are used to determine patterns of inheritance and individual genotypes
