The table below compares the scientific hypotheses proposed by Gregor Mendel and Alfred Wegener.

Gregor Mendel (1822–1884)

Alfred Wegener (1880–1930)
Observation

The flower color of a pea plant depends on the flower color of the parent plants.

Noticed that the continents seemed to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and that fossilized plants were similar on different continents.
Hypothesis

For each trait, an organism inherits one gene from each parent which controls that trait.

The continents once formed a single giant continent. They drifted away from each other
