Abstract

In the early days of genetics, scientists thought that each gene coded for a single trait, such as color, shape or size. This belief arose from the 19th-century work of Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, who by design or serendipity studied traits whose variation was due almost entirely to variation of a single gene. Consequently, Mendel was able to perceive basic patterns that illustrate the fundamental laws of heredity.
