Für die Beurtheilung des Verhältnisses, in welchem die Ausscheidung der Formen mit dem constant bleibenden Merkmale erfolgt, sind die beiden ersten Versuche von besonderem Gewichte, weil bei diesen eine grössere Anzahl Pflanzen verglichen werden konnte.
For the assessment of the proportion by which the segregation of forms with the trait remaining constant occurs, the first two trials are of particular weight, because a larger quantity of plants could be compared.

proportion = Verhältnisses See p. 3, s. 8.

segregation = Ausscheidung Mendel is using a term here with a number of interesting connotations. In physiology, it is used for excretion, in chemistry for precipitation or deposition, and in geology for the formation of minerals from liquid phases. All these connotations share the idea that a substance is freed from a mixture or solution, hence leading to a purification.

forms = Formen See p. 3, s. 8.

constant = constant See p. 5, s. 5.

trial = Versuch See p. 3, s. 6.

quantity = Anzahl See p. 3, s. 8.
