Juvenile corals inherit mutations acquired during the parent’s lifespan

2020-10-20

Abstract excerpt

128 years ago, August Weismann proposed that the only source of inherited genetic variation in animals is the germline 1 . Julian Huxley reasoned that if this were true, it would falsify Jean-Baptiste Lamarck’s theory that acquired characteristics are heritable 2 . Since then, scientists have discovered that not all animals segregate germline cells from somatic cells permanently and early in development 3 . In...
