- In accord with Mendel's laws: "Mendelian" refers to the principles of inheritance, specifically the patterns by which traits are passed from parents to offspring through genes, as first described by Mendel.

- A follower of Mendelism: A "Mendelian" is a person who supports or adheres to the theories of genetic inheritance established by Gregor Mendel.
Adjective:

- We studied Mendelian genetics in our biology class, focusing on dominant and recessive alleles.
Noun:
- Early in the 20th century, many biologists became Mendelians after the rediscovery of Mendel's work.
"Mendelian inheritance": This is a standard term for the pattern of inheritance that follows Mendel's laws, where traits are determined by discrete units (genes/alleles) passed from parents.
- Cystic fibrosis is often cited as an example of a human disease with a Mendelian inheritance pattern.
"Non-Mendelian inheritance": Refers to patterns of inheritance (e.g., incomplete dominance, codominance, polygenic traits) that do not follow the simple dominant/recessive rules first outlined by Mendel.
