EXPLANATION OF DIAGRAMS DIAGRAMS SHOWING FIVE DIFFERENT PURE LINES OF BEANS AND A “POPULATION” FORMED BY THEIR UNION. In each case the beans enclosed in glass-tubes are marshalled in equidistant classes of length; identical classes are superposed. The pure lines show transgressive fluctuation: it is mostly impossible to state by simple inspection of any individual bean the line to which it belongs.—The fluctuations about the average length (the phenotype) within the pure lines as well as in the mixed population show no characteristic difference.
