invisible "factors" - now called genes.
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 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.
Rigorously controlled experiments can provide evidence to support or refute a hypothesis, but they cannot definitively prove a hypothesis. Scientific hypotheses are continually evaluated, refined, and occasionally rejected based on new evidence and further experimentation.

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.

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.

Yes! For instance, you could write... "Based upon the evidence found, I concluded that ___________."
