D. Organisms can be bred for specific traits based on a pattern of inheritance

Explanation:

The first researches in the area of heredity and genetics date back to 1856, carried out by the monk Gregor Mendel, a science professor with great interest in botany. In the garden of a monastery in the city of Brno, in the Czech Republic - which at that time was part of Austria -, Gregor Mendel started his experiments with the peas he had planted himself.

Mendel's work lasted about 8 years. During that time, he carefully pollinated the plants, separated the seeds, to plant them separately, and analyzed the successive generations. The precursors of science that we now know by the name of genetics had very simple scientific and technological resources. Through their work it was possible to understand the separation of the alleles and come to the conclusion that organisms can be created for specific traits based on an inheritance pattern.
