By empirical study of pea plants and careful tabulation of phenotypic ratios, Mendel contributed to a particulate inheritance model of genetics and suggested that those heritable entities obeyed laws of independent assortment and segregation. This was MANY decades before anything was known of the mechanics of meiosis.

His main contribution was to genetics from his study of how traits were inherited in pea plants.
