Question

Mendel did not give ______________

(a) Concept of genes

(b) Concept of inheritance

(c) Concept of dominance

(d) Concept of chromosomes

I had been asked this question in an interview.

This interesting question is from Mendel’s Experimental Designs topic in chapter Mendelian Genetics of Cytogenetics

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) Concept of chromosomes

The explanation is: Although Mendel successfully discovered the concept of inheritance of genes, and their inheritance with dominant recessive relations; it was Sutton and Boveri to give the chromosomal concept of inheritance.
