Q.Select the period for Mendel's hybridization experiments

Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-1884), an Augustinian monk at the monastery of St. Thomas at Brunn in Austria, is called the Father of Genetics because the concepts he established through his original pea-hybridisation research - collectively called Mendelism - remain the conceptual foundation of the entire field. Working in the monastery garden between 1856 and 1863, he crossed and catalogued 24,034 pea plants across many generations, tracking seven pairs of contrasting characters, and published his results in 1866 as 'Experiments on Plant Hybrids'. His success is attributed to applying mathematics, statistics and probability to a biological problem for the first time; keeping accurate, detailed quantitative records; using large, carefully planned sample …
