What famous work did he write and in what year: set sail 1831, wrote on the origins of species, 1859. Together, mendel and darwin"s discoveries are known as what: modern synthesis: the modern understanding that the gene, mendel"s particulate mechanism of inheritance, was the heritable matter that darwin"s theory of evolution relied upon. What is a mutation: a spontaneous error to create a true replica in the process of dna replication, resulting in a novel sequence. Who is called the father of modern genetics: mendel. This was mendel"s idea of dominant and recessive genes. Genes that came from the tall purebred parent were dominant to the genes that came from the short purebred parent, so the rst hybrid generation appeared tall, even though each plant had one tall gene and one short gene. De ne chromosome: : chromosome: a single molecule comprising a very large dna helix. A single chromosome may include thousands of genes: keeps the dna tidy.
