Question

Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who lived in the 1800s. Mendel made many important discoveries related to genetics and heredity by studying inheritance patterns in pea plants. He developed three important laws to help explain the gene inheritance and expression that he observed. These laws of inheritance are known as the law of dominance, the law of segregation, and the law of independent assortment.

How did Mendel's work increase scientists' understanding of natural selection?
A.
Mendel's work helped scientists understand the relationship between natural selection and genetic drift.
B.
Mendel's work helped scientists better understand how traits that can be acted upon by natural selection are passed from one generation to the next.
C.
Mendel's work demonstrated that natural selection can only act on populations in which there is no genetic variation.
D.
Mendel's work demonstrated that natural selection can only act upon traits that cannot be passed down from one generation to the next.
