Versuchen wir die gewonnenen Resultate kurz zusammenzufassen, so finden wir, dass jene differirenden Merkmale, welche an den Versuchspflanzen eine leichte und sichere Unterscheidung zulassen, in hybrider Vereinigung ein völlig übereinstimmendes Verhalten beobachten.
Once we attempt to summarise the results obtained concisely, we find that those differing traits which allow for an easy and certain distinction in the experimental plants, observe a completely concordant behaviour in hybrid union.
observe = beobachten Mendel uses “beobachten” here in its monastic meaning of obeying a set of rules governing daily routines.
differing traits = differirende Merkmale See See p. 7, s. 3. That Mendel restricts the validity of his results to pairs (or sets) of clearly distinguishable and heritable traits is noteworthy.
hybrid union = hybrider Vereinigung Bateson has “hybrid associations”, Sherwood “hybrid association”; see p. 41, s. 6.
