Examine the situation. Gregor Mendel wondered how traits were inherited, but the technology to study genes was unknown. By cross
ing pea plants and observing their traits, he concluded that the traits of living organisms are controlled by structures called genes each gene is composed of two components that separate during reproduction and then recombine. Which type of scientific reasoning is described in the situation?
Because Mendel made broad generalizations from specific observations. His conclusions came from the data he collected during his experiment. He made observations, discerned a pattern, made a generalization, and infered an explanation or a theory.
I believe it is the first one "If increasing the temperature of a solvent increases the solubility of solutes in it, then increasing the temperature of water will allow more sugar to dissolve in it."
