In the late 1800s Mendel predicted the existence of units of hereditary information or factors What do you call these units of hereditary information today?

genes


What are Mendeln factors now called?

Mendel's factors are now known as genes. These units of heredity are responsible for the transmission of traits from parents to offspring, following the principles of inheritance first outlined by Gregor Mendel in the 19th century. Genes are segments of DNA that encode instructions for building proteins, which play critical roles in the development and functioning of living organisms.


When Charles Mendel developed the theory of natural selection in the 1800s he did not include a genetic explanation. True of false?

False. Charles Darwin developed the theory of natural selection in the 19th century, but he did not have a genetic explanation for inheritance as it was not understood at the time. The principles of genetics were later established by Gregor Mendel, whose work on inheritance patterns was published around the same time but remained largely unrecognized until the early 20th century. Thus, while Darwin's theory of natural selection focused on variation and adaptation, it did not include a genetic framework.


Where are Mendel's factor's located?

Mendel's factors, now known as genes, are located on chromosomes within the cells of living organisms. Each gene occupies a specific position, or locus, on a chromosome, and these chromosomes are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Mendel's work laid the foundation for understanding inheritance patterns, revealing how traits are passed from one generation to the next through these genetic units.


Was mendel one of the first scientists to discover the basic mechanisms of heredity in the mid -1800s?

yes he was. its true
