to another. It is probable that one represents the germ-plasma from the metaphor of a
long rootstock, creeping from which cried they rise to intervals these,
representing according to the individuals of following generations. From now
it follows that the transmission of acquired characters is a
impossibility, for if the germ-plasma is not formed again in each
individual, but you/he/she is deduced from that that it preceded him/it his/her structure,,
and, its molecular constitution, cannot depend above all, on the
individual in that it happens to happen, but such individual only
forms, as is, the nourishing ones dirty to the expense of what the
germ-plasma grows, while the possessed second its characteristic
you structure from the beginning viz., in front of the principle of the growth.
But the tendencies of heredity of which the germ-plasma is the carrier,
depends on this very molecular structure, and from now only those
characters can be issued through following generations that
before you/he/she has been inherited, viz., those characters that were
potentially it contained in the structure of the germ-plasma. It also
it follows that that other characters from which the has been acquired
the influence of the external and special conditions, during the life of the
parent, cannot be issued at all." (Vol. ME, P. 273.) In
conclusion, Weismann writes: "But to all the events we have earned this
very, that the only facts what they seem to directly try a
transmission of acquired characters has been disproven, and that the
only fixed foundation on which has been based until here this hypothesis
you/he/she has been destroyed."(Vol. ME, P. 461.)
This way we see how far the theory of the heredity has been inclined from the
great scientific investigators of the present age. We don't have anymore
some right to believe in the old man oft-disproved hypothesis that supposes
what every individual organism produces again afresh germ-cells and
again and it sends forth all of his/her developed powers and it acquired from the
parents; but, on the contrary one, we have come to know to-day that
