Gregor Mendal is known as the father of genetics. Mendal while a monk, used math to discover the basics of heredity by crossing pea plants with different characteristics for the f1 generation but when he crossed the f1 generation with a different pea plant he realized the traits that were in the original crossing to get f1 generation didn't show up until the f2 generation.
