Gregor Mendel
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Gregor Mendel was a human geneticist. He was considered to be the father of genetics on Earth according to the Eighth Doctor. (PROSE: EarthWorld)
Peril Bellamy remembered Mendel from biology class only as "some mad monk [with] his potted plants". The Fifth Doctor supplied his name. (AUDIO: Winter for the Adept)
