Letter of Mendel

Dear Mendel,

The structure of DNA explains your genetic discoveries of factors, now called genes.DNA actually contains genes that allow characteristics to appear and either be dominant or not. However 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 .When parents produce an offspring, the offspring genetic information is a combination of both parents'.

                                                                                        Sincerely,
                                                                                                     Janell Becerra
