Which discovery did Gregor Mendel make? Traits are inherited independently of each other. Traits are inherited as a tetrad. Traits are inherited as homologous pairs. Traits are inherited as a set, from one parent.

The answer is: Traits are inherited independently of each other.

Gregor Mendel researched pea plants and he discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. One of his laws is the law of independent assortment that says that t raits are inherited independently of each other.

There are three Mendel's laws about inheritance.

1. Law of segregation-This is the first law that describes the inheritance of alleles of a single gene. During gamete formation (meiosis), the alleles of the gene segregate from each other. This means that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.

2. Law of independent assortment - This is the second law that explains that the alleles of two or more different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another. In this case, the allele that gamete receives for one gene won't have an influence on the allele that is received for another gene. So, the conclusion is that the traits are inherited independently of each other.

3. Law of dominance - The third of Mendel's law describes the relations between the alleles. Some alleles are dominant while others are recessive.
