Blog 8: Write a letter to Gregor Mendel explaining how the structure of DNA explains his genetic discoveries of "factors" and P1 and F1.

Dear Gregor Mendel,
        The structure of DNA does in fact explain his genetic discoveries of  factors and P1 and F1. DNA has the form of a double-helix. Of course, nucleotide would pair with its partner nucleotide: A with T, and C with G. Both of the strands of DNA carry the same amount of genetic information because of this. In order for DNA replication to copy the genetic information, the strand has to split into two and genes would be carried in the chromosomes. When two parents produce an offspring, the offspring would most likely also contain the genetic information of both parents'.
