Question

Scientist use data from Gregor Mendel‘s studies to conclude that information about traits is passed from parents to offspring through

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the data from the experiments of Gregor Mendel, the information about the traits is passed from parents to offspring is through the genes.

Explanation:

• In Gregor's studies, he stated that factors are inherited from parents to offsprings which are responsible for inheritance of traits lie eye color, hair color etc.
• Later these factors are named as genes.
• There are millions of genes which codes for different traits.
• Genes are units of DNA.
• There are two copies of gene for one trait in an offspring. One comes from mother and second comes from father.

Answer 2

The correct answer is genes.  

A trait refers to the feature like size or color, which is passed from the parents and is inherited by the offspring. The genes control traits and come in pairs, that is, one gene from each parent.  

The transmission of hereditary traits possesses its molecular framework in the accurate DNA replication. This generates gene copies, which can be transmitted to the offspring from the parents. In plants and animals, the reproductive cells known as gametes are the mediators, which transfer genes from one generation to the next.
