The inheritance factors hypothesized by Greg Mendel came to be called?
I don't like your teacher. I think he/she is looking for B. genes, but then he/she should not have put chromosomes as an alternative choice. Mendel's theory of independent assortment was only true because the genes he studied were on separate chromosomes. It could be argued that what he was actually studying was chromosomal inheritance.
Reply:Mendel named those inheritance patterns as 'FACTORS',before knowing about the GENES. Now-a-days we call it as 'GENES'.
Reply:C. traits
Reply:b
Reply:genes...he was the father of genetics
Reply:The correct answer is genes. The "inheritance factors" are genes.
Reply:that's a crappy question, because now we know they are genes, but mendel knew nothing about genetics (as how it's passed on by genes and the structure and function of such...), and id' say they were traits
Reply:Genes.
