Question

Scientists used data from gregor mendel’s studies to conclude that information about traits is passed from parents to offspring through _____.

Answer 1

Through traits and genetics, the traits can be either recessive or dominant. That's what Mendel found out through his research

Answer 2

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

a. behavior

b. species

c. genes

d. proteins

The answer is C, genes

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel discovered in his various experiments, that parents pass information to their offsprings via what he called UNIT FACTOR. This unit factor was later known to be GENES. Mendel discovered that genes of an organism usually comes in two forms (one from each parent). These forms are called ALLELES. Each allele is responsible for a different trait for that same gene.

In his law of segregation, Mendel stated that each allele of a gene separates into gametes. This is the means by which information in the gene is passed across to offsprings. Scientists, later discovered the gene to be a segment of the DNA that encodes information to produce certain proteins responsible for obvious traits called phenotype. The information needed by an individual is encoded in these genes, which is passed across to offsprings during reproduction (meiosis).
