 * Gregor Mendel: Father of genetics, Red flower and white flower make pink flower. That's Darwin, Mendel studied peas. darwin: theory of evolution

Darwin is the father of evolution. One of his studies was with the flower "snapdragons", he studied the co-dominance exhibited by the flowers, crossing a red snap dragon and a white snapdragon causes to produce pink progeny.

Mendel is the father of genetics. He most notably studied peas and their inheritance from one generation to the other and how genetics came into play. He crossed peas of different phenotypes and genotypes, to see which ones were dominant and which ones were recessive.
