Versuche mit Samen-Merkmalen führen am einfachsten und sichersten zum Ziele.
Experiments with seed traits lead to the goal in the simplest and most reliable manner.

seed traits = Samen-Merkmale See p. 12, s. 2.

lead to the goal = führen … zum Ziele Bateson has “give the result”, Sherwood “lead … to success”, but “result” would be Ergebnis, “success” would be Erfolg. Mendel’s choice of the German term for “goal” or “aim” indicates that he selected which experiments to present and that he was inviting his audience to replicate them.
