Daher entwickeln sich die Nachkommen der Hybriden, wenn in denselben zweierlei differirende Merkmale verbunden sind, nach dem Ausdrucke: AB + Ab + aB + ab + 2ABb + 2aBb + 2AaB + 2Aab + 4AaBb.
The descendants of hybrids, once two kinds of differing traits are joined in them, therefore develop according to the expression:
AB + Ab + aB + ab + 2ABb + 2aBb + 2AaB + 2Aab + 4AaBb.
AB + Ab + aB + ab + 2ABb + 2aBb + 2AaB + 2Aab + 4AaBb.
two kinds of differing traits = zweierlei differirende Merkmale On the term differirend see p. 9, s. 1, on the suffix -lei see p. 42, s. 4 .
joined = verbunden Both Bateson and Sherwood have “combined”; see p. 10, s. 14.
develop according = entwickeln sich … nach Bateson has “are represented by”, while Druery had “are developed according to the following formula”; we follow Sherwood. The “expression” that follows arranges the “members of the developmental series” in the same order as the table on the same page. On the term entwickeln, which has biological and mathematical meanings, see p. 17, s. 6.
expression = Ausdruck See p. 17, s. 6.
