Examine the situation.

Gregor Mendel wondered how traits were inherited, but the technology to study genes was unknown. By crossing pea plants and observing their traits, he concluded that
the traits of living organisms are controlled by structures called genes
each gene is composed of two components that separate during reproduction and then recombine.
Which type of scientific reasoning is described in the situation?

inductive reasoning

scientific rationalism

scientific empiricism

deductive reasoning

D?

yes, he deduced.

thank u

Its not deductive

Yes, the type of scientific reasoning described in the situation is deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning involves drawing conclusions from specific premises or observations. In this case, Gregor Mendel observed the traits of pea plants and concluded that the traits are controlled by genes, and that genes are composed of two components that separate and recombine during reproduction. He made this conclusion based on the specific observations he made during his experiments with pea plants.
