Question

from mendels first set of experiments, he concluded that

a there are two factors controlling each characteristic he studied.
b the two factors separate and go to different gametes.
c of the two factors, one of the factors dominates the other factor.
d all of the above are correct

Explanation:

Analyze Mendel's monohybrid cross conclusions

Mendel's first set of experiments involved crossing pure-breeding plants for a single trait (monohybrid crosses). From these experiments, he formulated his law of segregation and the law of dominance. Specifically, he concluded that:

  1. There are two hereditary factors (alleles) controlling each characteristic.
  2. These two factors separate (segregate) during gamete formation, so each gamete carries only one factor.
  3. One factor can dominate over the other (dominant and recessive traits).

Since statements a, b, and c are all fundamental conclusions from his first set of experiments, option d is correct.

Answer:

  • a there are two factors controlling each characteristic he studied.
  • b the two factors separate and go to different gametes.
  • c of the two factors, one of the factors dominates the other factor.
  • d all of the above are correct (Correct answer)
