germ-plasm

The impress on the parental _body_ must in some way be transferred to the parental _germ-plasm_; and not as a general influence, but as a specific one which can be reproduced by the germ-plasm.

Applied Eugenics Paul Popenoe 1933

In his college years he learned about evolution, germ-plasm, inheritance, and racial memory, and finally decided that he is essentially a mutant (he calls himself a “freak,” using an older meaning of the word) in whom the racial memory from one particular individual is uncommonly (and improbably) strong.

Before Adam by Jack London Karen Burnham 2008

In his college years he learned about evolution, germ-plasm, inheritance, and racial memory, and finally decided that he is essentially a mutant (he calls himself a “freak,” using an older meaning of the word) in whom the racial memory from one particular individual is uncommonly (and improbably) strong.

I therefore endeavoured to see if it were not possible to imagine that the germ-plasm, though of complex structure, was not composed of such an immense number of particles, and that its further complication arose subsequently in the course of development.

Epigenesis and Preformationism Maienschein, Jane 2005

And out of this interest in the theory of natural selection grew in the last twenty years of the nineteenth century the greatly increased attention to the facts and theories of heredity, which was stimulated by Darwin's hypothesis of Pangenesis and especially by Weismann's speculations about the nature and behaviour of the 'germ-plasm'.

Recent Developments in European Thought Various

It includes the 'directly inherited' structures, _i. e._, the structures which are directly predetermined in the structure of the germ-plasm, as, for instance, the first differentiation of the germ, segmentation, the formation of the germ-layers and the organ-rudiments, as well as the next stage of

Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology

A chronic alcoholic has a defective germ-plasm, and his children are apt to be defective.

Woman Her Sex and Love Life William J. Robinson

Some years before [490] he had enunciated, at about the same time as Weismann, the view that development was brought about by a qualitative division of the germ-plasm contained in the nucleus, and that the complicated process of karyokinetic or mitotic division of the nucleus was essentially adapted to this end.

Darwin recognized it as incomplete, 142; germ-plasm theory supplements, 145.

The essential principles of the germ-plasm theory are somewhat as follows.
