Mendelian genetics

It is not as if the Mendelians were unaware of this move that they made. Their opponents, the biometricians (particularly Pearson) objected vehemently but were ignored - see Provine (1971) for a history. In the German context Sapp (1987) provides some relevant historical detail, although his main focus is on non-genetic inheritance rather than alternative modes of non-Mendelian genetic inheritance.

The most common Mendelian genetic disorder in Caucasians, HH is estimated to occur with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 200. Among Caucasians, cases are concentrated in those of northern European origin, specifically... 

Classical breeding has been the mainstay of crop improvement since the rediscovery of Mendelian genetics at the beginning of this century. The improvements have been significant, e.g., the development of hybrid corn resulted in a steady 1-2% increase in yield per year. Other crop breeding programs led to the development of strains that would sustain food production in previously sterile environments. ...

Mendel s landmark paper was published in 1866, but was essentially ignored until the early 1900s. Since that time, the brilliance and daring of Mendel s early work has been greatly appreciated. Modern genetics has Mendelian genetics as its basis.
