Blog 8- Write a letter from you to Gregor Mendel explaining how the structure of DNA explains his genetic discoveries of "factors" and P1 and F1

Dear Gregor Mendel,
             
    The structure of DNA explains your genetic discoveries of factors, now called genes, because DNA actually contains genes that allow characteristics to appear and either be dominant or not. Also the structure of the DNA being a double helix allows for the base pairing theory to be applied such as A to G and C to T resulting in the identical strips of DNA used to create offspring's through the parent's DNA. So your discoveries on factors and P1 and F1 are largely determined by the structure of DNA since DNA contains the genetic information  in the structure of a double helix that enables the offspring to receive similar traits/genes from the parents.

Sincerely,
Kathryn Lee
