Traits and Heredity: Inherited Traits

The video explores the development of genetics, starting with Gregor Mendel's foundational experiments in the 1860s. Mendel's work with pea plants led to the hypothesis that traits are controlled by two factors, now known as genes. These genes, inherited from both parents, are the basic units of heredity. The video concludes with an exploration of how genes interact.
