| 34368 | If the normal allelomorph is thought of as the positive character, which one of the mutants is due to its loss or to its absence? |
| 34368 | It may be asked what will happen when two factors whose loci are more than 50 units apart in the same chromosome are used in the same experiment? |
| 52312 | Who shall say whether it is crime or punishment which has wrought the greater suffering in the world? |
| 52312 | Who would have supposed it possible that the pollen- cells of a plant could be all of one type, and its egg- cells of two types? |
| 15623 | Did they appreciate this? |
| 15623 | Of what other American philosopher and theologian has this been true? |
| 15623 | Who can estimate the eloquence of that simple fact? |
| 15623 | Why did he do it? |
| 36993 | Always doing or undoing something 37 Habitual fitfulness 38 Self- importance 40 Henry and Wolsey: Which led? |
| 36993 | But what were the steps, and what especially was Elizabeth''s step? |
| 36993 | Can he enlarge this chamber or contract that? |
| 36993 | Can he, later, close a door here or open a window there? |
| 36993 | Choice spirits are more numerous-- but are the spirits quite as choice? |
| 36993 | Do we not indeed know too well the fate of those whose thought and will ran counter to his? |
| 36993 | For, indeed, what is the use of being active, capable, confident and important in a closet? |
| 36993 | If a brother is attached to his brother and does not quarrel with him, is he therefore poor- spirited? |
| 36993 | If a parliament and a king see eye to eye, is it just to label the parliament throughout history as an abject parliament? |
| 36993 | If by rare chance a servant sees, possibly on good grounds, a hero in his master, is he therefore a poltroon? |
| 36993 | It might be asked, in passing, seeing that six wives is the sign of a perfect"monster"if three wives make a semi- monster? |
| 36993 | Should we have loved, trusted, and reverenced a''monster of lust''? |
| 36993 | What then might he have been had he been a statesman only, or a diplomatist or an ecclesiastic or a soldier only? |
| 36993 | What was its meaning? |
| 36993 | Why may we not combine all thankfulness for the early More and the early Savonarola, and all compassion for the later More and later Savonarola? |
| 36993 | Yet how many of us are there who, if admitting to the full their greatness, do not belittle their follies? |
| 36993 | or, if freely admitting their follies, do not belittle their greatness? |
| 36993 | what its object? |
| 34299 | But are these offspring any better than they would have been had their parents given birth to a larger number? |
| 34299 | But what has meanwhile happened to the outer digits? |
| 34299 | Can he do this well if he knows nothing of what the bent of the child''s genius from ancestral influence is? |
| 34299 | Can we reconcile this want of correspondence? |
| 34299 | Can we remove them? |
| 34299 | Educate another for a blacksmith who should have been a preacher, is there not also a great loss? |
| 34299 | How can an instinct like this have been acquired by being performed but once? |
| 34299 | How can sexual cells develop brain cells, with their wonderful modes of action? |
| 34299 | How can this egg, formed in special organs, develop other organs than those like the ones in which it was formed? |
| 34299 | How can war injure children? |
| 34299 | If you educate a boy which nature intended for a blacksmith for a preacher, has not the world lost something? |
| 34299 | Is it a vain hope? |
| 34299 | Is this not a grievous burden which cripples or paralyzes his life and reacts on his offspring? |
| 34299 | Now, if acquired characters_ are not_ transmitted to offspring, how should these facts affect our methods of educating children? |
| 34299 | The question now arises, How can the parent make use of this agent in altering the nature of a child from one that is not desirable to one that is? |
| 34299 | What is the Germ- plasm? |
| 34299 | Why should they crucify their desires for the benefit of the race? |
| 34299 | evidently meaning,"How shall we train and educate him?" |
| 8517 | ( 2) By what means are these effects brought about, what is the physiological explanation of the influence of the gonads on the soma? |
| 8517 | And then how should we account for the recessive white? |
| 8517 | Are we to suppose that the upper half of the body or eye had a positive heliotropism and the lower half a negative heliotropism? |
| 8517 | But how do we know that feathers in their origin were connected with flight? |
| 8517 | But if this is the case, what is the male condition? |
| 8517 | But it may be asked, What objection is there to the theory of natural selection as an explanation of adaptations? |
| 8517 | But since these qualities segregate in the reduction divisions, how is it that the male quality in the_ f_ ovum does not make it a sperm? |
| 8517 | But this leaves the question, what is lutein and why is it secreted? |
| 8517 | But what determines the end of the pregnancy? |
| 8517 | But what is sex but the difference between ovum and spermatozoon, between megagamete and microgamete? |
| 8517 | Does this metamorphosis take place in the blind_ Drosophila_ of the milk- bottle? |
| 8517 | He then asks, Through what agency is the environment enabled to act on the germ- plasm? |
| 8517 | Here arises an interesting question-- namely, how does the hormone theory explain the phenomenon of metamorphosis any better than the mutation theory? |
| 8517 | How can we suppose that the divisions shall be exactly equal or the growth always the same? |
| 8517 | How comes it then that the female quality entirely disappears? |
| 8517 | How then was it evolved? |
| 8517 | If so, why should not antlers equally develop in the stallion or in the buck rabbit, or indeed in man? |
| 8517 | In what sense then, can an ovum be male? |
| 8517 | Is it merely the increasing distension of the uterus by the developing foetus? |
| 8517 | Mais est- il impossible que malgré la différence de constitution physico- chimiques il soit influencé de la même façon?'' |
| 8517 | Moreover, if it is a mutation, why has it never occurred in any other class of Vertebrates except Mammals? |
| 8517 | The consideration of the subject involves two questions:( 1) What are the exact effects of the removal of the gonads in male and female? |
| 8517 | The problem then is, How did these distinct species arise? |
| 8517 | The question is, what were the unit characters in the parent species? |
| 8517 | The question remains, therefore, where are the factors of the somatic sex- characters? |
| 8517 | The question then is, how did these factors arise? |
| 8517 | The question then to be considered is, what determines parturition and menstruation? |
| 8517 | They conclude that the interstitial cells supply a nutritive material( hormone? |
| 8517 | What meaning are we to attach to the words''male ovum''or even''male producing ovum''? |
| 8517 | What, then, is heredity? |
| 8517 | Would the fish be any worse off if the lower side were coloured like the upper? |
| 26438 | [ 22] Is it not probable that the best fliers would escape most frequently, or would pine most if kept confined? 26438 [ 52] What does this mean? |
| 26438 | ( 4) If use- inheritance has tamed the rabbit, why are the bucks still so mischievous and unruly? |
| 26438 | And if use and disuse are the sole modifying agents in the case of the human jaw, why should men have any more chin than a gorilla or a dog? |
| 26438 | Are we to suppose that the effect of the_ adult_ practice of parents was inherited at this early age? |
| 26438 | Are we to suppose that the size of the human teeth is maintained by use at the same time that the jaws are being diminished by disuse? |
| 26438 | But as artificial selection has lengthened the wings in some instances, why may it not have shortened them in others? |
| 26438 | But could we rely upon the aid of use- inheritance if it really were a universal law and not a mere simulation of one? |
| 26438 | Does individual improvement transmit itself to descendants independently of personal teaching and example? |
| 26438 | Does it only transfer the newly- acquired weakness, and not the previous long- continued vigour? |
| 26438 | How could the transmission of these varied effects to offspring be accounted for? |
| 26438 | How is it that the subsequent inheritance of these effects has not been more satisfactorily observed and investigated? |
| 26438 | How then can we rely upon use- inheritance for the improvement of the race? |
| 26438 | If disuse has shortened them, as Darwin supposes, why has it also thickened them? |
| 26438 | If injuries are inherited, why has the repeated rupture of the hymen produced no inherited effect? |
| 26438 | If use- inheritance was not necessary in the case of Handel, whose father was a surgeon, why is it needed to account for Bach? |
| 26438 | Is it not a significant fact that the alleged instances of use- inheritance so often prove to be self- conflicting in their details? |
| 26438 | Is it not probable that permanent domestication was rendered possible by the inevitable selection of spontaneous variations in this direction? |
| 26438 | Is use- inheritance, then, only effective for evil? |
| 26438 | Under these circumstances how can we be sure of the actual efficacy of use- inheritance? |
| 26438 | WOULD NATURAL SELECTION FAVOUR USE- INHERITANCE? |
| 26438 | What will be the ultimate effect of plucking geese''s quills, and of the eider duck''s abstraction of the down from her breast? |
| 26438 | Where is the necessity for even the remains of the Lamarckian doctrine of inherited habit? |
| 26438 | Which effect of use does use- inheritance transmit in such cases-- the increased rate of growth, or the dilapidation of the worn- out parts? |
| 26438 | Why are not the effects of this disuse inherited by the labourer''s infant? |
| 26438 | Why is the Angora breed the only one in which the males show no desire to destroy the young? |
| 26438 | Why is there not simultaneous variation in teeth and jaws, if disuse is the governing factor? |
| 26438 | Why should it be thought incapable of reducing a pigeon''s wing or enlarging a duck''s leg? |
| 26438 | Why should the non- transmission of that which was not transmitted be surprising? |
| 26438 | Why then may not the ungainly hind- legs have been shortened by human preference independently of the inherited effects of disuse? |
| 26438 | Will such modifications be inherited by the offspring of the modified individual? |
| 26438 | Will the continued shearing of sheep increase or lessen the growth of wool? |
| 26438 | Would shaving destroy the beard in time or strengthen it? |
| 26438 | [ 24] How can increased use simultaneously shorten and thicken these bones? |
| 26438 | _ NATURE SERIES_ ARE THE EFFECTS OF USE AND DISUSE INHERITED? |
| 26438 | in spite of disuse? |
