    Gregor Mendel conducted early experiments breeding pea plants that laid the foundations for genetics and demonstrated that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units of inheritance, now known as genes. His work established the concepts of dominant and recessive genes, and that organisms inherit two versions of each gene, known as alleles, with one dominant and the other recessive. Thomas Hunt Morgan later built on Mendel's work by conducting similar experiments with fruit flies.
