This study presented a new multi-species binary coded algorithm, Mendelian Evolutionary Theory Optimization (METO), inspired by the plant genetics. This framework mainly consists of three concepts: First, the "denaturation" of DNA's of two different species to produce the hybrid "offspring DNA". Second , the Mendelian evolutionary theory of genetic inheritance, which explains how the dominant and recessive traits appear in two successive generations. Third, the Epimuation, through which organism resist for natural mutation. The above concepts are reconfigured in order to design the binary meta-heuristic evolutionary search technique. Based on this framework, four evolutionary operators-1) Flipper, 2) Pollination, 3) Breeding, and 4) Epimutation-are created in the binary domain. In this paper, METO is compared with well-known evolutionary and swarm optimizers 1) Binary Hybrid GA (BHGA), 2) Bio-geography Based Optimization (BBO), 3) Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO), 4) Shuffled Frog Leap Algorithm (SFLA), 5) Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO), 6) Cuckoo Search (CS), 7) Bat Algorithm (BA), 8) Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA), 9) Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy(CMAES), 10) Differential Evolution (DE), 11) Firefly Algorithm (FA) and 12) So
