Mendel, was not a world-renowned scientist of his day. Rather, he was an Augustinian monk who taught natural science
to high school students. His theories of heredity were based on his work with pea plants. He was the first person
to trace the characteristics of successive generations of a living thing.
Mendel's work became the foundation for the modern science of genetics.
