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 in genetics include concepts like genes (factors) controlling traits, genes coming from each parent, trait inheritance across generations, gene separation during gamete formation, and dominance - recessiveness (where one gene may be seen over another). The idea of some traits being passed together (linkage) was not part of Mendel's original five - part hypothesis as he worked with unlinked traits in his pea plant experiments.

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.
