If from the F2 generationa male individual which has no horns,and which therefore can carry no factorfor horns, be crossed with one of thefemales of the F1 generation, which al-though hornless carries the factor forhorns, it would follow, if the assumptionis correct, that all of the females of thiscross would be hornless, and one-halfof the males would be horned—for thereason that one-half of the males wouldreceive one factor

As theresult of this cross there were 17 malesand 11 females; all the females werehornless, 9 males had horns and 8 werehornless^1) Fig.
