Question

what can be known about mendels five - part hypothesis?
○ it is an answer to a scientific question and is based mostly on his research.
○ it identifies three alleles for each gene.
○ it is an answer to a scientific question and is based on publications on genetics.
○ it identifies one allele for each gene.

Explanation:

• For the option "It identifies three alleles for each gene": Mendel's work proposed two alleles (dominant and recessive) for each gene, so this is incorrect.
• For the option "It is an answer to a scientific question and is based on publications on genetics": Mendel's hypothesis was based on his own pea - plant experiments, not existing genetics publications (as genetics as a field was in its infancy with his work), so this is incorrect.
• For the option "It identifies one allele for each gene": Mendel proposed two alleles, so this is incorrect.
• For the option "It is an answer to a scientific question and is based mostly on his research": Mendel's five - part hypothesis was developed to answer questions about inheritance, and it was based on his extensive pea - plant breeding experiments (his own research).

Answer:

It is an answer to a scientific question and is based mostly on his research.
