Mendel saw purple flowers in the F1 generation, but both purple and white flowers in F2. How did this help him see that traits are inherited as discrete units?

Answer:

Mendel saw purple flowers in the F1 generation, but both purple and white flowers in F2. How did this help him see that traits are inherited as discrete units?

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the original parents were both purebred then it makes sense that both offspring are purple because of the purple flowers dominant allele.
