Gregor mendel is best known for his work with pea plants and for uncover many of the mysteries of genetics. one of his major findings stated that there were specific, physical units of inheritance that are transmitted during reproduction. what is the the name given to these units of inheritance which can be found on chromosomes?

The correct answer is -

Genes.

Gregor Mendel worked with pea plants in order to find out the inheritance pattern of certain traits from parents to their next generation.

He proposed that for every characteristic in an organism, there are two basic factors (inherited from each parent).

These factors/units were later called genes (which are considered as unit of heredity) and are located on chromosomes.

Genes can be described as the segment of DNA that codes for a particular trait /characteristic of an organism.

For example - 'T' and 't' gene correspond to tall and dwarf height of pea plant respectively.

Thus, gene is the right answer.

answer; the above statement is (true);

thinking it would be d not too sure but i think it's right
