Kommen ferner unter den differirenden Merkmalen zugleich dominirende vor, welche ganz oder fast unverändert auf die Hybride übergehen, dann muss an den Gliedern der Entwicklungsreihe immer jene der beiden Stammarten mehr hervortreten, welche die grössere Anzahl der dominirenden Merkmale besitzt.
If among the differing traits, furthermore, dominating ones occur at the same time, which devolve completely or almost without alteration to the hybrids, then the one of the two parent-species that possesses the greater number of dominanting traits must become more prominent on the members of the developmental series.
differing = differirend See p. 5, s. 5.
dominating = dominirende See p. 10, s. 14.
at the same time = zugleich This is not included in Sherwood’s translation. Mendel clearly implies here that dominance is not necessarily associated with one of the two traits of a character pair; cf. p. 10, s. 13.
devolve … to = auf … übergehen See p. 7, s. 3.
parent-species = Stammarten Bateson has “original stocks”, Sherwood “parental types”; see p. 5, s. 10.
members = Glieder See p. 20, s. 12.
developmental series = Entwicklungsreihe See p. 17, s. 6.
quantity = Anzahl See p. 3, s. 8.
