Hereditary Blood Qualities: Statistical Considerations

[摘要] In the original publication of von Dungern and Hirschfeld, and in my recent articles on the subject, there is sufficient evidence to prove the Mendelian nature of the inheritance of the human blood groups and to demonstrate the mechanism as depending on the dominance of agglutinogen B over absent B and of agglutinogen A over absent A.For this reason, and in order to make my former presentations as simple as possible, I there omitted the comparison of the percentages of different groups actually found with the percentages to be expected from the mendelian law. However, as this comparison, though not essential, is of some value as additional evidence, and as so little is yet known about the inheritance of any normal human characters, I wish to set forth this comparison with regard to the 255 persons presented in my article.
