True. Gregor Mendel, through his experiments with pea plants, sought to understand the inheritance of physical traits, much like modern scientists do. However, he lacked the advanced technology and genetic understanding we have today to conduct experiments at a molecular or genetic level. His work laid the foundation for the science of genetics, but it was based on his observations and experiments using the tools available to him in the 19th century.
Mendel asked the same questions about physical traits as today’s scientists. He just didn’t have the technology to experiment the way scientists do today.
