Mendel's Experiments

The video tutorial explains genetic inheritance using eye color as an example. It introduces Gregor Mendel's pioneering work on inheritance patterns through his experiments with pea plants. Mendel's studies on monohybrid and dihybrid crosses revealed dominant and recessive traits, leading to the formulation of Mendelian ratios. His work laid the foundation for modern genetics, although it was initially overlooked until rediscovered in 1900 by other scientists.
