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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The experiments were conducted with the greatest care and accuracy.

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

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

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

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.
