Explanation:

Hugo De Vries research into the nature of mutations, summarized in his Die Mutationstheorie$(1901-03)$; (The Mutation Theory), led him to begin a program of plant breeding in $1892$. The principles that govern heredity were discovered by a scientist named Gregor Mendel in the $1860$'s. One of these principles is called Mendel's law of independent assortment. The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in $1859$, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioural traits. Weismann was a German evolutionary biologist. His main contribution involved germ plasm theory, at one time also known as Weismannism.
