invisible "factors" - now called genes.
Based on his experiments, Mendel concluded that each trait was controlled by two alleles, one inherited from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive, determining how traits are expressed in the offspring. Mendel's work laid the foundation for the principles of inheritance in genetics.
Mendel concluded that each trait was controlled by two factors, which we now understand as alleles, based on his experiments with pea plants. He observed that each parent contributes one allele for each trait to the offspring, leading to the concept of dominant and recessive alleles. This foundational idea formed the basis of Mendelian genetics, demonstrating how traits are inherited in predictable patterns. Mendel's findings laid the groundwork for our understanding of heredity and genetic variation.
True. Gregor Mendel concluded that the tall plants in the P generation passed the factor for tallness to the F1 generation based on his experiments with pea plants and his observations of phenotypic ratios.
He wanted to determine if traits affected each other, and concluded (based on his observations) that they did not. + To find out if traits could affect the inheritance of other traits. to determine if traits affected each other
Gregor Mendel is often regarded as the father of genetics for his pioneering work in the field. He conducted his experiments on inheritance using pea plants (Pisum sativum), which allowed him to formulate the fundamental laws of heredity based on the patterns of trait inheritance. Mendel's meticulous cross-breeding experiments laid the groundwork for the later understanding of genetic principles.

He wanted to determine if traits affected each other, and concluded (based on his observations) that they did not.Today we can't be that sure because Mendel had the luck to only observe traits on different chromosomes. But if two genes, which encode for the observed traits, lie on the same chromosome, maybe even in neighbouring regions, they have a higher chance to be passed on to the next generation together.

Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics. He observed that pea plants had certain characteristics that were dominant. He concluded by observing the traits of cross breeding different types of pea plants that traits such as height, flower color, and seed shape were determined by dominant factors. Since Mendel laid down the principles of inheritance based on his experiments on hybridization in pea plant, a systematic study in genetics started to explain many unanswered questions. Mendel's contribution was recognized and he is rightly been considered as father of genetics. Mendel's approach of mathematics in biological science led him to arrive at such conclusions.
Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden are credited with the Cell Theory, which states that all living organisms are composed of cells. They concluded this in the 19th century based on their observations and experiments with plant and animal tissues.

J.J. Thomson concluded that all elements contain electrons based on his discovery of the electron in 1897 through his experiments with cathode rays. This led to the development of the plum pudding model of the atom, in which electrons are embedded in a positively charged sphere representing the rest of the atom.
Gregor Mendel reasoned that yellow seed color is dominant over green seed color based on his observation of the ratios of yellow to green seeds in his pea plant experiments. This led him to propose the concept of dominant and recessive traits in inheritance.
Frederick Griffith discovered Transformation doing lab experiments in the 1930's. He initially based his work of Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, and discovered more as he experimented of lab mice.
