But that the act of crossing in itself gives an impulse towards reversion, as shown by the reappearance of long-lost characters, has never, I believe, been hitherto proved.
We have seen in the last section that when two races or species are crossed there is the strongest tendency to the reappearance in the offspring of long- lost characters, possessed by neither parent nor immediate progenitor.

Reversion to lost Characters by pure or uncrossed forms.
We have seen that bud-variability is not solely dependent on reversion or atavism to long-lost characters, or to those formerly acquired from a cross, but appears often to be spontaneous.
Nor can we account in all cases for the appearance through bud-variation of new characters by the principle of reversion to long-lost characters.
In both varieties and species reversions to long-lost characters occur.
We see that bud-variability is not solely dependent on reversion or atavism to long-lost characters, or to those formerly acquired from a cross, but that it is often spontaneous.
It might further be expected that the species of the same genus would occasionally exhibit reversions to long-lost characters.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "lost characters" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
