Auf diese Weise würde die Entstehung so vielerlei Keim- und Pollenzellen ermöglicht, als die bildungsfähigen Elemente Combinationen zulassen.
In this way, the formation of as many kinds of germ and pollen cells would be enabled as there are combinations allowed for by the elements capable of development.
as many kinds = so vielerlei On the suffix -lei see p. 42, s. 4.
elements = Elemente See p. 41, s. 6.
capable of development = bildungsfähig Both Bateson and Sherwood have “formative”, but the adjective Mendel uses places emphasis on the capacity to develop, rather than determine, form. The noun Bildung designates development as a whole, and has connotations not only of organic, but also of psychological and educational development; see p. 3, s. 6.
