- On two different occasions, Mendel presents a paper entitled "Experiments on Plant Hybridization" at the Natural History Society of Brno in Moravia. His work is received favorable, although he wouldn't receive critical acclaim until after his death.
- Law of Dominance
- Mendel dies in Brno, Moravia from a chronic case of nephritis.
- Law of Segregation
- 16 years after his death, in the year 1900, he was finally recognized as one of the founding fathers of genetics.
- Law of Independent Assortment
- States that in a heterozygote, one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic. Rather than both alleles contributing to a phenotype, the dominant allele will be expressed exclusively.
- States that each individual that is a diploid has a pair of alleles (copy) for a particular trait. Each parent passes an allele at random to their offspring resulting in a diploid organism.
- States that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another.
