Which statement explains Mendels observations about how traits are passed from generation to generation?

Answer 1

Alleles are passed from parents to offspring. An allele is an alternative form of a gene(one member of a pair) that is located at a specific position on a specific chromosome. DNA codings determine distinct traits that can be passed on from parents to offspring. The process by which alleles are transmitted was discovered by Gregor Mendel and formulated in what is known as Mendel's Law of Segregation.

Answer 2

Mendel's experiments led him to conclude that there were three laws governing inheritance:

• Law of segregation (each gamete carries only one allele for each gene).
• Law of independent assortment (different traits segregate independently).
• Law of dominance (an organism with at least one dominant allele will display the associated trait).

Answer 3

Mendel's observations led to the discovery of the principles of inheritance, including the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment. He showed that traits are passed from parents to offspring in predictable patterns, with one gene coming from each parent. This laid the foundation for the field of genetics.
