Yes, what Mendel called 'Factors' are in the modern times called genes.
A geneis a molecular unit of heredityof a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a polypeptide or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism.
The notion of a gene began when Gregor Mendel noticed that biological variations are inherited from parent organisms as specific, discrete traits.
He named these 'discrete units' as 'factors'.
Hence, what Mendel called 'Factors' are in the modern times called genes.

What Mendel's first experiment crossed true-breeding plants with different versions of the hereditary factor for a trait. best describes Mendel's results?
Tt and TT were the genotypes of the true breeding plants that Mendel used in his two factor cross.
In a two factor cross Mendel followed what?
two different genes source: Prentice Hall Biology Book.
In science what is mendell?
Mendel states that each parent can only contributes one trait to the offspring, to total two altogether.
How did Gregor Mendel represent factors for dominant traits?
By using capital & lowercase T's. The capital T represents the factor responsible for the dominant trait: tall. The lowercase representing the factor of the recessive trait: short.
In a two factor Cross what did Mendel follow?
In a two factor cross, Mendel followed the segregation of two different traits or characteristics in the offspring. He studied the inheritance of traits such as flower color and seed texture, and observed how they were transmitted from the parent generation to the offspring generation. This allowed him to formulate his laws of inheritance.
What the term factor mean in Mendel first law?
allele

What was the ratio of the Mendel's F2 generation for the two factor cross?
9:3:3:1 was the ratio of Mendel's f2 generation for the two factor cross.
What is the modern name given to Mendel's factor?

What is the modern name given to Gregor Johann Mendel's factor?

Peas can both cross-pollination and self-pollinate why was this a key factor in Mendel's work?
Mendel would not have discovered the nature of simple dominance.
What does a Gregory Mendel mean?
Gregory mendel is a person who helped invent genitics!
What does Gregor Mendel mean?
Gregor Mendel is an Austrian monk that discovered genetics in a monastary garden with pea plants.
Gregor Mendel's studies?
Gregor Mendel studied genetics by observing generation of pea plants. By altering a single factor there were no changes first generation, but by second generation the variables were exposed.
