Mendel’s terminology and notation reveal his understanding of genetics

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Olby`s papers have been very influential and have received much attention in the history of science, and education literature, Campanile et_al, as well as in the secondary literature including popular science books (e_g ). Characters throughout the paper Mendel specified "Merkmal" in four ways: "ParentalCharacter" (Stamm-Merkmal), "Hybrid-Character", "Dominating Character", and "Recessive Character".
