                                 The
                                man who first came to see and to really grasp
                                this important phenomenon was Gregor
                                Johann
                                Mendel (1822
                                – 1884), who began his research around 1856
                                starting with experiments on phenotypic
                                phenomena that occurred in sets of pairs  contrary
                                to each other in appearance, either in size,
                                form or colour as phenotypic accessories of a
                                one and the same species. This way than he could
                                ‘discover’ and proof that genetic
                                information exists, and exists as discrete units
                                occurring in pairs; the practical basic
                                condition for the
                                possibility of combination or of the pathway along
                                which combination regarding life can make sense
                                as we came to understand again and again later on.
