Which statement below best describes Gregor Mendel’s conclusions about genetics based on his pea plant experiments?

A. DNA is the biomolecule of life. Its structure is a double-helix and it is the blue print for the structure and function of an organism.

B. Each parent plant transmits certain factors to its offspring. These factors combine and determine the plant’s traits.

C. When two organisms reproduce, the offspring will generally result in a blending of the parent’s traits.

D. Mendel’s experiments ended up being inconclusive. Although he saw some patterns of inheritance, he was unable to determine the “how” behind it.

Gregor Mendel is called the father of genetics. Based on his pea plant experiment, Mendel postulated that each parent plant transmits certain factors to its offspring. These factors combine and determine the plant’s traits.

Why did Mendel use the pea plant for the experiment?

Mendel did an experiment to see the pattern of inheritance in the organism. For this, Mendel chose the pea plant.

The reasons behind choosing the pea plant are:

It is easy to grow.
Hermaphrodite flower.
It is easy in plants to obtain pure breed.
Its generation time is less.
Disease resistant.
Optimal rate of survival.

According to his experiment, Mendel postulated that each parent plant transmits certain factors to its offspring. These factors combine and determine the plant’s traits.

Thus, the correct option is B.
