Mendel's work was rediscovered and acknowledged after:
Correct answer: A. Sixteen years after his death
- A. Sixteen years after his death
- B. Twenty years after his death
- C. Twenty-four years after his death
- D. Thirty-four years after his death
Explanation
In 1900, 16 years after Mendel's death, three botanists-Carl Correns, Hugo de Vries, and Erich von Tschermak-independently rediscovered and acknowledged his work. This was a significant moment in genetics, as it led to the widespread acceptance and further development of Mendelian genetics. The incorrect options fail to match the correct timeline of 16 years after his death.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
