What was the most significant conclusion that Gregor Mendel drew from his experiments with pea plants?
A) There is considerable genetic variation in garden peas.
B) Traits are inherited in discrete units and are not the result of "blending."
C) Recessive genes occur more frequently in the F₁ generation than do dominant ones.
D) Genes are composed of DNA.



Answer :

The most significant conclusion that Gregor Mendel drew from his experiments with pea plants was: (B) Traits are inherited in discrete units and are not the result of "blending."

Gregor Mendel conducted hybridization experiments on garden peas for seven years and proposed the laws of inheritance in living organisms.

Mendel concluded from his experiments with pea plants that the traits are inherited in discrete units, one from each parent and are not the result of "blending".

Mendel called these discrete units as 'factors' which occur in pairs. These factors are now more appropriately known as genes, which are the units of inheritance.
