|
Organisms that give rise to purebreds are genetically superior.
|
|
|
Organisms that have intermediate features are self-pollinating.
|
|
|
Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent.
|
|
|
Organisms that self-pollinate do not have “either-or” features.

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Traits are inherited in discrete units one from each parent’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Upon compiling his results for many thousands of plants, Mendel concluded that the characteristics could be divided into expressed and latent traits. He called these dominant and recessive traits, respectively. Dominant traits are those that are inherited unchanged in a hybridization.
Detailed explanation-3: -What were Mendel’s two main conclusions about how traits are passed between generations? Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following conclusions was a result of Mendel’s observations? Organisms that give rise to purebreds are genetically superior. Organisms that have intermediate features are self-pollinating.
Detailed explanation-5: -He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits. He recognized the mathematical patterns of inheritance from one generation to the next.
