Experiments of Plant Hybridization

Charles Darwin's research was incomplete  until Greg Mendel provided the missing piece to it. Growing up, Charles was well off. But when it came to academics he was just ordinary. His father raised him on his own after his mom passed when he was eight, and was sent to medical school because his father wanted him to be become a doctor, even though Charles wasn't interested in pursuing this career. He was then sent to Christ's College two years later. Charles was interested in natural science and as a result, he went on the HMS Beagle as a naturalist making an extraordinary discovery after his voyage. He discovered a pattern but couldn't recognized why it was happening. He noticed that organisms changed throughout the years. Heredity was the answer to Charles' question, and Mendel was the one who recognized why species and organisms changed throughout the years and had a common ancestor. He researched pea plants to show genetic transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring. Mendel didn't publish his findings and his work wasn't discovered until the 1920s. Charles and Mendel's findings combined together shows significant evidence for the theory of evolution.
