Explain how mendel"s principles refuted the prevailing hypotheses about inheritance at the time. Determine the pattern of inheritance of a trait based on a pedigree. Chromosome theory: explained how genetic info is transmitted from on generation to the next. Mendel laid the groundwork for the theory in 1865 used garden peas to work through rules of inheritance.
