Descaribe the discovery of ingeritence

Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) studied the inheritance of different characteristics in pea plants. 1)He found that when he bred red-flowered plants with white-flowered plants, most of the offspring had red flowers, but some had white, because the allele for red flowers is dominant, and the allele for white flowers is recessive. 2)One of Mendel's observations was that the inheritance of each characteristic is determined by 'units' that are passed on to descendants unchanged. 3)His work wasnt accepted: -(1)when he presented his work to other scientists he did not communicate it well so they did not really understand it -(2)it was published in a scientific journal that was not well known so not many people read it -(3)he could not explain the science behind why characteristics were inherited 4)He was accepted in early 20th centuries when microscopes were developed. 5)James Watson & Francis Crick worked out the structure of DNA. By using data from other scientists Rosalind Franklin & Maurice Wilkins, they were able to build a model of DNA. They showed that bases occurred in pairs, and x-ray data showed that there were two chains wound into a double helix.
