*) I did not interpret the increased F 2 variability in the number of rows as due 

 to the segregation of plural determiners for row-number, but as the result of segregation 

 of Mendelian characters iiigeneral, resulting in different degrees of heterozygosis and 

 consequently in different degrees of heterozygotic stimulation. See text.
