Question

What was the most significant conclusion that Mendel drew from his experiments?

• A. There is considerable genetic variation in garden pea
• B. Traits are inherited in discrete units one from each parent
• C. Genes are composed of DNA
• D. Recessive genes occur as frequently as dominant ones.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Traits are inherited in discrete units one from each parent

The most significant conclusion that Mendel drew from his experiments is that the traits are inherited in discrete units one from each parent and are not the result of blending. He called these discrete units factors which occur in pairs.

So, the correct option is 'Traits are inherited in discrete units one from each parent'.
