Introduction: The Mendelian genetics was created by Gregor Mendel who was an Austrian monk, who worked on a pea plant to observe the pattern of inheritance of certain characters from the parent plant to the offsprings. He termed genes as factors that were passed from one generation to another. He proposed three laws, which are known as Mendel’s law of genetics.
