Which of the following does NOT describe Mendel's research and proposed Model of Inheritance?
A) Each individual has two sets of factors, one of each pair inherited from the mother and one from the father.
B) Hybrid offspring with intermediate characteristics were not extensively studied.
C) Factors may be expressed, hidden in a given generation or lost.
D) Observations were limited to traits that are governed by two alleles.
E) Because of meiosis, which was discovered after Mendel's time, each parent passes one set of factors to each offspring.

Mendel's model of inheritance does not suggest that factors (genes) can be lost. Instead, it proposes that traits can be dominant or recessive, where recessive traits may not be expressed in the presence of dominant ones but are not lost and can be expressed in subsequent generations if two recessive alleles are present.
