Answer 1

The correct answer is - Genes.

Gregor Mendel was the scientist who examined the behavior of traits quantitatively among the different generations.

Mendelian 'factors' are the genes that belong to the study of the modern population genetics. The alternative forms of these factors are called as 'Alleles' of that gene.

Answer 2

An Australian scientist Gregor Mendel made people believe that the major contributor that allows inherited traits to pass on from one generation to the other is mainly the genes. He believed that genes play a huge role in passing certain personality traits from the parents to the off springs. Thus he conducted his study on a pea plant to provide the basis for the laws of genetics and inheritance.
