What term did Mendel use for genes? Where are the genes located?
Mendel used the term “factors” for genes. He didn’t know exactly where they were located inside the cells because that discovery came later, but we now know that genes are found on structures called chromosomes inside the cell’s nucleus. Think of chromosomes as tiny packages that hold all the instructions for making living things, like you!
