In what way Mendel used the word Traits? Explain using an example.

Explanation

1. Trait is a separate variant of an organism
2. Mendel hypothesized that characters were carried as traits.
3. An organism always carried a pair of factors for a character.
4. He also hypothesized that distinguishing traits of the same character were present in the population of an organism.
5 He assumed that the traits shown by the pea plants must be in the seeds that produced them.
6. The seeds must have obtained these traits from the parent plants.
7. Teh factors which zare responsible for character or trait of an organism are now named as genes'
8. By all thes we can assume that mendel used the word Traits for indicating the variant of an organism expressed by a pair of factors or genes.
9. For example height is a character of pea plant while the tallness is a tralt expressed by a pair of factors either Tt or Tt and dwarfness is another trait expressed by a pair of factors tt.
