Mendelian inheritance (or
Mendelian genetics or
Mendelism) is a scientific description of how
hereditary characteristics are passed from parent organisms to their offspring; it underlies much of
genetics. This theoretical framework was initially derived from the work of
Gregor Johann Mendel published in 1865 and 1866 which was
re-discovered in 1900; it was initially very controversial. When Mendel's theories were integrated with the
chromosome theory of inheritance by
Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1915, they became the core of
classical genetics.
