| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains Assertion. |

Mendel published his work on inheritance of characters in 1865 but for several reasons, it remained unrecognised till 1900. These reasons included all the following except:
| 1. | Communication was not easy in those days. |
| 2. | His concept of genes (or factors, in Mendel’s words) as stable and discrete units that controlled the expression of traits and, of the pair of alleles which did not ‘blend’ with each other, was not accepted by his contemporaries as an explanation for the apparently continuous variation seen in nature. |
| 3. | Mendel’s approach of using mathematics to explain biological phenomena was totally new and unacceptable to many of the biologists of his time. |
| 4. | Although Mendel’s provided correct physical proof for the existence of unit factors as discrete entities, his explanations could mot convince others. |
