Explanation

Carl Correns, along with Hugo de Vries and Erich von Tschermak, independently rediscovered Mendel's work in 1900, decades after its original publication. Correns specifically worked with corn and peas, confirming Mendel's laws of inheritance. Morgan, Muller, Bridge, and Robertson made significant contributions to genetics but came later, with Morgan establishing the chromosome theory of inheritance that built upon Mendel's foundation.
