Additional advantages of the presence and absence hypothesis will appear in connection with a considera- tion of blending inheritance and of cumulative factors in inheritance. Attention, however, should be called to the fact that those who accept the presence and ab- sence hypothesis do not use the form of notation thus far used in explaining Mendelian inheritance. Assume that T is used to express the determiner for tallness, the same letter (t) is used to express its absence. For example, instead of using D for dwarfness, t is used for "lack.
