Explanation
The correctly matched pair is Ernst Mayr and the Biological Species Concept. Mayr, often called the 'Darwin of the 20th century', defined a species as a group of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups.
- Charles Darwin is famous for the theory of evolution by Natural Selection, not the Laws of Inheritance.
- Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics for formulating the Laws of Inheritance based on his work with pea plants.
- R.H. Whittaker proposed the Five-Kingdom Classification (Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia) in 1969. The Six-Kingdom classification was later introduced by Carl Woese, who divided Monera into Archaebacteria and Eubacteria.
