What did Gregor Mendel learn?
That inheritance of traits is particulate. That is the male and the female both contribute discrete genetic information that is not blended in the progeny of sexual reproduction. He called these discrete units " factors " and now we call them genes.Genetics.
How did gregor mendel describe dominant and recessive traits?
when two have matedthen they have a baby or whatever you call itthen its has both of the parents genesand thats it
What was the main experiments Gregor Mendel carried out?
In mendels first experiments, he crossed pea plants to study seven different characteristics. For example he crossed plants that had purple flowers with plants that had whit flowers, the offsprings from such a cross are called first- generation plants. All of his first generation plants had purple flowers. One trait was always present in the first generation , and the other trait seemed to disappear. Mendel chose to call the trait that appeared the dominant trait. Because the other trait seemed to fade into the background, Mendel called it recessive trait.
What did gregor medel call chromosomes?
Mendel did physical studies of the characteristics of pea plants...at about the same time as chromosomes were identified by in 1842 but the word chromosome was coined later. The chromosome's relation to inheritance was only realized by the mid 1880s...and most of the terminology used...did not not come along until the late 1800s to early 1910s. Mendel was doing statistical analyses of plant inheritence and may well have been made aware of the biological mechanisms long after his studies were complete...if at all.
What did mendel call contrasting forms of genes?
alleles.
Why do we call Mendel the Father of Genetics?
Gregor Mendel discovered how genes were passed on from parent to offspring through his experiments.
What did Gregor Mendel call the trait that did not show up in the offspring?
recessive

What hereditary factors were described by Mendel?
The first person to put heredity to the test was Gregor Mendel, who systematically tracked dominant and recessive traits in his famous pea plants. Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to their offspring. No one knew about genes at the time. He described what he saw which we call traits.
Who discovered the cell and why did he call it that?
Gregor mendel first found the cells but he called it characteristics. He did many experiments on pea plant
Was Gregory Mendel successful in finding out basic rules of heredity?
His name was Gregor Mendel, not Gregory. Yes. He developed several laws of heredity, which we call Mendel's laws. They are the law of dominance, law of segregation, and law of independent assortment.

How long was it until Gregor Mendel's work was acknowledged?
Mendel did his work between 1856 and 1863 but it was not replicated until 1900. What we now call Mendelian genetics was not fully accepted until the 1930s and 1940s. So roughly 80 years.
Who is gregor Johann Mendel and their work?
mendel was a person or scientist u can call who formulated the basic laws of genetics. he gave the concept of dominant and recessive traits and characters. he gave the law of independent assortment he discovered gene but that tym he called it medelian factor.
What do you call the separate parent plants involved in the pollination process?
Male and female parents. The pollen is transferred from male to the female parent.
