Figure 6.—Graphical representation of the results of selecting Burwell's Yellow Flint for high protein in self-fertilized lines. More recently Jones (1918), by studying the variability of various characters in maize in successive self-fertilized generations, has demon- strated that these mathematical generalizations actually hold in practice. The data presented here are merely a corroboration of these results on another character complex. There are indeed many complications in the inheritance of protein, as has been emphasized in the preceding pages. Genetics 5: N 1920.
