Mendel drew two conclusions.

Mendel concluded that biological inheritance is determined by factors that are passed from one generation to the next. Mendel also concluded that the principle of dominance states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive.

mendel suggested that during the formation of gametes one allele for every trait is copied from each parent and the mix of the two being dominant dominant, dominant recessive, and recessive recessive determines the inherited trait.

That specific, individual traits could be passed on from one generation to another. The prevalent idea at the time -- one held by Charles Darwin -- was that the breeding of two living thngs with different traits would result in a mixing of these two traits. For example, that breeding a white horse with a black horse would result in a spotted horse, or a grey one. Mendel was able to show that, instead, such breeding could result in only one such trait -- the dominant one -- being passed on to the next generation. This was a major breakthough in explaining how species develop, and Mendel's idea was published in a scientific journal of the time. Amazingly, it was then forgotten for almost forty years.

How did Gregor Mendel contribute to your understanding of inheritance?

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.
