Den einfachsten Fall bietet die Entwicklungsreihe für je zwei differirende Merkmale.
The developmental series for two differing traits each offers the simplest case.

developmental series = Entwicklungsreihe See p. 17, s. 6. Since this “developmental series” encapsulates what modern geneticists call “the law of segregation”, this sentence clearly demonstrates that Mendel thought of this law as a special case of a more general law only; see p. 18, s. 7 for further discussion.

two differing traits each = je zwei differirende Merkmale Bateson has “each pair of differentiating characters”, Sherwood “one pair of differing traits”.
