A)electrophoresis experiments.
B)purification of chromosomes from pea plants.

E)use of high resolution microscopic techniques.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mendel identified the independent assortment of distinct genes during meiosis, which provided evidence for the location of genes on separate structures, later known as chromosomes. This was a crucial discovery for the field of genetics, as it laid the foundation for the understanding of the physical basis of inheritance. However, the other options listed were not directly related to Mendel's discovery of the location of genes on chromosomes.
