| Description | In 1900, the British botanist William Bateson discovered a neglected article published in 1865, entitled “Experiments in the hybridization of plants”, by an Austrian monk, Gregor Mendel. In his paper Mendel described crosses of varieties of garden peas with different flower color and seed characters. Mendel experimented with varieties of garden peas of different flower colors and seed shapes in the garden of his monastery. In his model, Mendel suggested that the color of an individual plant is determined by a pair of factors, derived from the male and the female parent respectively. The British statistician Ronald A. Fisher analyzed Mendel's published data and concluded that the results were too close to the theoretical expectation. Fisher suggested that Mendel had not derived his model from the experimental results, but that he must have had a pretty accurate notion beforehand of what numbers he should expect.
