Modern biology began with the work of the Augustinian friar Gregor Johann Mendel . His work on pea plants, published in 1866, what is now Mendelian inheritance . Some theories of heredity suggest in the centuries before and for several decades after Mendel's work . </P> <P> The year 1900 marked the "rediscovery of Mendel" by Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns and Erich von Tschermak, and by 1915 the basic principles of Mendelian genetics had been applied to a wide variety of organisms--most notably the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster . Led by Thomas Hunt Morgan and his fellow "drosophilists", geneticists developed the Mendelian model, which was widely accepted by 1925 . Alongside experimental work, mathematicians developed the statistical framework of population genetics, bringing genetic explanations into the study of evolution . </P>
