Question

Which discovery did Gregor Mendel make?
Traits are inherited independently of each other.
Traits are inherited as a tetrad.
Traits are inherited as homologous pairs.
Traits are inherited as a set, from one parent.

Answer 1

"Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits."

So that's what the internet says. So now lets go though the options and see which is most appropriate :)

Answer 2

"Mendel concluded that different traits are inherited independently of each other, so that there is no relation, for example, between a cat's color and tail length."
