i believe the hypothesis developed by Mendel as a result of his experiments with the garden pea include;
1. For each inherited trait, an individual has two copies of genes-one fromeach parent.
2. There are alternative versions of genes. Today the different versions of a gene are called its alleles
3. When two different alleles occur together, one of them may be completely expressed, while the other may have no observable effect on the organisms appearance. Mendel described the expressed form of trait as dominant. The trait that was not expressed when the dominant form of the trait was present was described as recessive.
4. When gametes are formed, the alleles for each gene in an individual separate independently of one another. Thus, gametes carry only one allele for each inherited trait. When gametes unite during fertilization, each gamete contributes one allele.
