Mendel used the term ‘factors’ for a pair of elements that are responsible for determining inherited traits. These factors are now called 'genes'.  

Explanation:

  • These factors are ‘transmitted from parents’ to offsprings and are responsible for determining inherited characteristics.
  • Each gene has a pair of alleles, each of which is inherited from the father and mother, and is responsible for determining an inherited trait.  
  • The dominant allele gets expressed, or a recessive trait is expressed in absence of a dominant allele.
