Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A. Scientists discovered chromosomes and DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mendel's ideas were based on patterns of inheritance in plants. Although he identified these patterns, at the time, we did not know what the hereditary material was. This means Mendel couldn't uncover the mechanism of why he was seeing the patterns he was.

When scientists discovered chromosomes and DNA, they were able to see how Mendel's observations made sense in the context of DNA and chromosomes.
