Which best summarizes the results of Mendel’s pea plant experiments?

Mendel found that offspring inherit traits from both parents, and that the traits appear in predictable patterns. For example, a dominant trait can show up when an offspring inherits the corresponding factor from just one parent, while a recessive trait usually appears only when inherited from both. Therefore, “Both parents pass traits to offspring in a fairly predictable pattern” is the best summary.
