The statement that best summarizes Gregor Mendel's contribution to science is:
Mendel found evidence that there are two factors for each trait.
This reflects Mendel's key insights into heredity, which established the foundation for modern genetics. His work demonstrated that traits are inherited through discrete units (now known as genes), with each trait having two factors (alleles), one inherited from each parent.
