Bateson reported a different phenotypic ratio in sweet pea than could be explained by simple Mendelian inheritance. This ratio is 9:7 instead of the 9:3:3:1 one would expect of a dihybrid cross between heterozygotes.

The protein product (or the result of its activity) of an allele which may be detected as an antigen in another member of the same species.(eg histocompatibility antigens, immunoglobulins), obeying the rules of simple Mendelian inheritance.
