For >40 years, geneticists and science historians have appealed to the tetrad-pollen model as an explanation of the bias toward expectation in Mendel's data, albeit without experimental support. Our experiments demonstrate that pollen sampling during self-pollination in pea conforms to the binomial distribution with no evidence of a tetrad-pollen effect.
四十多年来,遗传学家和科学史学家一直援引四分体花粉模型来解释孟德尔数据中偏向预期的偏差,尽管缺乏实验支持。我们的实验表明,豌豆自花授粉期间的花粉采样符合二项分布,没有四分体花粉效应的证据。
