C)quantified the results of the breeding experiments
D)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mendel's success was due to all of the factors listed. He used pairs of sharply contrasting features (such as tall versus short plants) that made it easy to track inheritance patterns. He precisely defined the traits he studied, ensuring that he was truly observing a single characteristic rather than multiple traits. And he quantified the results of his experiments, using statistical analyses to demonstrate patterns of inheritance. All of these factors contributed to his groundbreaking discoveries about genetics.
