How to use PLASM in a sentence

• It is not because the child can inherit directly from its parent, but rather because both child and parent have come from the unfolding of two bits of the same germ plasm.
• Being born with the individual, they can not be produced by conditions affecting him, but rather to something affecting the germ plasm from which he sprung.
• The nature of the germ plasm controls the nature of the individual, and congenital variations must consequently be due to its variations.
• But it is not so easy to see how this germ plasm can undergo variation.
• In other words, in order to explain congenital variations we must account for variations in the germ plasm.
• The first is by the direct influence upon the germ plasm of certain unknown external conditions.
• If the germ plasm is wholly stored within the reproductive gland, it is certainly in a position to be only slightly affected by surrounding conditions which affect the animal.
• Probably no one, however, holds this position to-day, and it is the general belief that the germ plasm may be to some slight extent modified by external conditions.
• The second method by which the variations of germ plasm may arise is apparently of more importance.
• Now, the two parents are never exactly alike, and hence the germ plasm which each contributes to the offspring will not be exactly alike.
• This germ plasm is handed on from generation to generation with all its variations, and hence the variations will be added permanently to the machine.
• But the germ plasm within the reproductive glands is not, so far as we can see, subject to the influence of an increased use, for example, in the arm muscles.
• The facts which we have noted of the continuity of germ plasm have during the last fifteen years led many biologists to deny the possibility of the latter.
• We should then have nothing left except the congenital variations produced by sexual union, or the direct variation of the germ plasm as a factor for advance.
• Now if this peculiarity were a congenital variation it would be already represented in the germ plasm, and consequently it would be inherited by the next generation.
• A machine, either through the direct influence of the environment, or as a result of sexual combination of germ plasm, shows a variation from its parents.
• Before I approach the solution of this problem, it may be advisable to recall in a few words to my readers the theory of the immortality of the germ plasm.
