Fill in the blanks to complete the passage. The Austrian monk and scientist Gregor studied the traits of pea plants. He could see that pea plant traits were passed from parents to offspring in a process called .
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.

Gregor Mendel took two different colored pea plants: one had traits for white plants and the other had traits for a red plant. When Mendel cross bred the two plants, a plant with traits for a pink plant grew. This is how Mendel contributed to the understanding of inherited traits.

He didn't learn about it, he discovered it. He grew lots and lots of pea plants and found that the inheritance of traits had numeric proportions.

Mendel experimented with pea plants to learn about genetics.
He studied dominant and recessive genes. He studied pea plants and the traits that they obtained from previous generations.

His two influences were; Christian Doppler, a physicist who encouraged his students to learn science through experimentation and trained Mendel to use math to help explain natural phenomena. Franz Unger, a botanist who aroused Mendel's interest in the causes of variation in plants. hope this helps
