| This at once suggests the objection, how can the idioplasm, for instance, of a pollen grain be the same as that of a leaf? |
|
| But only such changes are transmissible to future generations as have resulted from modifications arising in the idioplasm. |
|
| It will be found that characters totally contradictory are ascribed to Weismann's idioplasm. |
|
| This constitutes the automatic perfecting process or progression of the idioplasm, and entropy of organic matter. |
|
| Each ontogeny begins in a minute germ cell, in which a small quantity of idioplasm is contained. |
|
| Hence along with perfected determinants the idioplasm always contains growing and incomplete determinants. |
|
| Hence along with growing and complete determinants the idioplasm always contains likewise weakened and vanishing determinants. |
|
| As a result of external injurious influences, abnormal variations, or pathological variations, appear in the idioplasm. |
|
| Organisms arise from a germ cell which consists of idioplasm and in turn they produce like germ cells. |
|
| External stimuli exerted on the organism are reproduced in the idioplasm. |
