Summary of Mendel's Experiments with Peas: 



The foregoing results were obtained when one pair of 

 characters was used, but Mendel found the law to hold true 

 when two or more sets were considered at the same time. 



FIG. 15. 

 MENDELIAN PROPORTIONS IN MAIZE. 

 Cobs born by heterozygote plants pollinated 

 with the recessive, showing equality of smooth 

 and wrinkled and of colored and white grains. 



The resu ts, however, are more complicated, but they show 

 that each set of characters acts independently of the others 

 in the inheritance. (See section on Dihybnds, page 87).
