Quotes by Gregor Mendel

The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used, and the accuracy of observation.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

It is just this circumstance which so greatly increases the difficulty of forming a judgment as to the true relations of the constant forms to the hybrids.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The results of the experiments, however, afford some guarantee that the method employed was the correct one.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

Those characters which are transmitted entire, or almost unchanged in the hybridization, and therefore in themselves constitute the characters of the hybrid, are termed dominant, and those which become latent in the process are termed recessive.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The law of combination of different characters, which governs the development of the hybrids, is the same in all cases.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The constant characters which appear in the offspring of the hybrids are always in the same numerical ratio.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The results of the experiments justify the conclusion that the characters of the two parental forms are associated in the hybrid in such a manner that they are not blended, but remain distinct and capable of separation.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The constant differentiating characters, which are transmitted from the parents to the offspring, are the true elements of heredity.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The object of the experiment was to observe the development of the hybrids in their offspring.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The experiments were conducted in such a way that the number of individuals observed was sufficiently large to exclude the influence of chance.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The results obtained by these experiments show that the development and formation of the hybrids follow a definite law.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The constant forms which appear in the first generation of the hybrids are always in the same numerical ratio.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The characters which are transmitted from the parents to the offspring are not blended, but remain distinct and capable of separation.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The experiments were designed to determine the number of different forms under which the offspring of hybrids appear.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The constant forms which appear in the offspring of the hybrids are always in the same numerical ratio, namely, 1:2:1.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The experiments were conducted with the greatest care and accuracy.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The results of the experiments show that the development of the hybrids follows a definite law.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The constant forms which appear in the offspring of the hybrids are always in the same numerical ratio, namely, 3:1.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The experiments were designed to determine the number of different forms under which the offspring of hybrids appear, and their numerical relations.

Experiments on Plant Hybridization 1865

The results of the experiments show that the constant forms which appear in the offspring of the hybrids are always in the same numerical ratio.
