Based on his research he was one of the first scientists toobserve how offspring inherited genes from the crossing of parent's phenotypes. The phenotype, or observed characteristic of an organism, is derived from the genotype, genetic makeup of anorganism's trait. Mendel was one of the first...
Jean-Baptiste Lamarckincorrectly hypothesized that acquired traits could indeed be passed down from parent to offspring and therefore make the offspring more suited to their environment or stronger in some way.
