SOMEONE HELP "Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits. He recognized the mathematical patterns of inheritance from one generation to the next."

Through his work, Mendel published his experiments to explain his findings.

What did his laws of inheritance state?

A. Parental genes are randomly separated from the sex cells so that sex cells contain only one gene of the pair.

B. Each trait of an organism can contain multiple alleles of that trait.

C. Organisms with alternate forms of a gene will express the dominant form of the gene.

D. The inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.

E. Genes can be transferred from the parent generation directly to the offspring based on the environmental factors surrounding the offspring.
