invisible "factors" - now called genes.
Mendel examined one trait at a time in his pea plant experiments. For each trait, he had two choices: the dominant allele and the recessive allele. Therefore, there were two choices for each pea plant trait that Mendel examined.
Mendel's law of Segregation stated that only one parental allele for each trait is included in a sex cell.
each trait had two sets of instructions one from each parent
Mendel states that each parent can only contributes one trait to the offspring, to total two altogether.

the plant has 2 factors for each possible trait one for each parent
The answer is: hybrids
Mendel's law of Segregation stated that only one parental allele for each trait is included in a sex cell.
Mendel's Law Of Segregation
A single-gene trait is a phenotypic trait controlled by two homologous alleles.
He wanted to determine if traits affected each other, and concluded (based on his observations) that they did not. + To find out if traits could affect the inheritance of other traits. to determine if traits affected each other
each trait had two sets of instructions one from each parent
Mendel states that each parent can only contributes one trait to the offspring, to total two altogether.
Each reproductive cell (gamete) is 1N (the haploid chromosome count) which means it has a single allele for a genetic trait at each gene locus...this is based on the assumption that the trait is controlled at a single site. Polygenic traits, those controlled or modified at more than one locus, will have multiple alleles for a trait.
Mendel interpreted his results intelligently. He imagined that the contrasting form of a trait, tall or short was determined by heredity factors. Each individual had a pair of these factors .One factor of this pair had come in him from his male parent and the other from his female parent .Both of these factors together controlled expression of trait in him. Mendel assigned symbols to factors.
