Die Ernte entsprach den gestellten Anforderungen vollkommen.
The harvest corresponded entirely to the requirements made.
harvest = Ernte Bateson has “crop”, Sherwood “yield”. Mendel refers to the peas harvested from the plants grown in the first year of the experiment. Since he worked with seed characaters, this constitutes F1 in modern genetic parlance.
requirements = Anforderungen Both Bateson and Sherwood have “expectations”; Mendel’s formulation is stronger, however. Anforderungen connotes expectations that one has a right to see fulfilled, for example, that an employee delivers certain services, or that a product one buys meets certain standards. One might speculate that this kind of language was in the last analysis inspired by the fact that Mendel had bought his seeds from a seed company.
