Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance: The Foundation of Modern Genetics

mendel concluded that traits are ______ from parents to offspring.

passed down via factors/genes

Mendel concluded that traits are inherited from parents to offspring in a predictable manner through the transmission of genes. He proposed the laws of inheritance based on his experiments with pea plants and demonstrated that an individual’s traits are determined by the inheritance of genes from their parents. This laid the foundation for the field of genetics and provided a basis for understanding of how traits are passed down from generation to generation. Mendel’s work showed that the inheritance of traits is not based on the blending of parental characteristics, but rather on the transmission and expression of discrete units of inheritance known as genes.
