In the 1800s, Georger Mendel conducted a series of experiments on pea plants and determined that certain biological units were responsible for observable traits in peas like leaf shape and pea color. His work layed the foundation for Modern Genetics. We have since realized that not all traits in living organisms are as neatly arranged as in pea plant. Quantitative traits like height and milk production are controlled by an array of genetic players.
