Fourteen self-pollinated ears were also obtained from these same 
horny plants. With these data it is not only possible to determine 
whether a difference 
exists between the male and female gametes, in 
the proportion of gametes bearing the waxy character, but also to 
compare the relation of the percentage of waxy seeds on the self- 
pollinated ear from 
the heterozygous parent with the percentage of 
male gametes bearing the waxy character, as indicated by the per-
