What type of plant did Mendel use in his experiments to study inheritance?

Mendel observed inheritance patterns by studying pea plants. What term did he use to describe the traits that were passed on unchanged?

In the early 20th century, scientists found that chromosomes and Mendel’s ‘units’ behaved similarly. What did this suggest?
