Question

before testing the pea plants, mendel formed a five - part hypothesis. what did mendel include in his hypothesis? check all that apply.
a pair of factors (known as genes) control traits.
one gene comes from each parent for every trait.
each trait is passed from generation to generation.
some traits are passed together from generation to generation.
when gametes are formed, genes separate.
if there are two unlike genes, one may be seen while the other is hidden.
done

Explanation:

Mendel's hypotheses included concepts about gene pairs controlling traits (A), parental gene contribution (B), trait inheritance across generations (C), gene separation during gamete formation (E), and gene dominance (F). The statement about some traits being passed together (D) was not part of his initial five - part hypothesis.

Answer:

A. A pair of factors (known as genes) control traits.
B. One gene comes from each parent for every trait.
C. Each trait is passed from generation to generation.
E. When gametes are formed, genes separate.
F. If there are two unlike genes, one may be seen while the other is hidden.
