4)Gregor Mendel(1822-1884), Czech. The father of genetic. He grew pea plants and developed ideas on heredity (iuf)and inherited characteristics. Between 1856-1863 he grew 28,000 pea plants. He examined seven kinds of seed and plant characteristics and developed some laws of inheritance showing human skin tones made his paintings seem to come alive. He used to study dead people in order to make his paintings as accurate as possible. Some of his famous paintings include "The Adoration of the Magi" and the " The Last Supper". Later in his life he lived in France where he designed a submarine(潜水艇) and a flying machine 6) Humphry Davy British.
