Mendel found that different gene combinations from the parents resulted in specific ratios of dominant to recessive traits. The results of a cross between two hybrid parents each carrying one dominant and one recessive gene,were key to his synthesis.

How is DNA proven genetics?
When Mendel proposed that each trait is determined by a pair of genes, it presented a potential problem. If parents pass on both copies of a gene pair, then offspring would end up with four genes for each trait. Mendel deduced that sex cells ,sperm and eggs, contain only one parental gene of each pair. The half-sets of genes contributed by sperm and egg restore a whole set of genes in the offspring.
