<P> Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian priest and scientist born on 20 July 1822 in Austria - Hungary and is well known for discovering genetics . He went to the Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno . He is often called the father of genetics for his study of the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants . Mendel showed that the inheritance of these traits follows particular laws , which were later named after him . The significance of Mendel 's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century . Its rediscovery prompted the foundation of the discipline of genetics allows geneticists today to accurately predict the outcome of such crosses and in determining the phenotypical effects of the crosses . He died on 6 January 1884 from chronic nephritis . </P>
