In 1866, Mendel published three main conclusions to his findings. Which of the following ideas was not proposed by Mendel?Characteristics are determined by hereditary unitsHereditary units are organised in chromosomesHereditary units can be dominant or recessive Hereditary units are passed on unchanged by both parents3The height of Mendel’s pea plants is controlled by a single gene with two alleles: a dominant tall allele (T) and a recessive short allele (t).
