Question

How many scientists independently rediscovered Mendel's laws of inheritance in the year 1900?

विकल्प

• Two scientists (Boveri and Morgan)

• One scientist (Sutton)

• Three scientists (de Vries, Correns, von Tschermak)

• Four scientists working together

Answer 1

In 1900, three scientists – Hugo de Vries, Correns, and von Tschermak – independently and simultaneously rediscovered Mendel's work on the laws of inheritance. Their independent rediscovery, 16 years after Mendel's death and 34 years after his original 1866 publication, brought Mendelian genetics back into scientific focus and established the foundation for modern genetics.
