A mechanism of inheritance of acquired traits in animals.

Developmental biology - 1 Jul 2021

Cabej Nelson R

Abstract excerpt

Observational and experimental evidence for the inheritance of acquired traits in animals is slowly, but steadily accumulating. The onset and transmission of acquired traits implies the acquisition and transmission from parents to progeny of new information, which is different from the genetic information contained in DNA. The new non-genetic information most commonly is passed on from parents to the offspring...
