Mendel
(not otherwise identified) "... those characters
which are transmitted entire, or almost unchanged in
the hybridization, and therefore in themselves constitute
the characters of the hybrid,
are termed the dominant, and those which become latent
in the process recessive. The expression 'recessive'
has been chosen because the characters thereby designated
withdraw or entirely disappear in the hybrids, but
nevertheless reappear unchanged in their progeny ..." |
