| 例句 | One particularly “wide blank” had to be filled: heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z He had finally solved the code of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Between 1900 and 1910, as evidence for Mendel’s “units of heredity” mounted, biologists were confronted by the impact of the new theory. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In two years, astonishingly, Mendel had produced a set of reagents that would allow him to interrogate some of the most important features of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z As the train trundled through the darkening fens, Bateson read a copy of de Vries’s paper—and was instantly transmuted by Mendel’s idea of discrete units of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Whether hereditary units were divisible or indivisible did not particularly bother him; what concerned him was whether heredity was actionable or inactionable: whether human inheritance could be manipulated for human benefit. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Muller’s experiments demonstrated that heredity could be manipulated quite easily: the mutation rate was itself quite mutable. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z For Morgan, the principal mystery of organismal biology was not the gene but genesis: How did “units of heredity” enable the formation of animals and maintain the functions of organs and organisms? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z He had originally proposed the concept in Hereditary Genius as early as 1869—thirty years before the rediscovery of Mendel—but left the idea unexplored, concentrating, instead, on the mechanism of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Aristotle had recast heredity as the flow of information—a river of code moving from egg to the embryo. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z If genetic alterations could be “induced artificially,” he wrote, then heredity could no longer be considered the unique privilege of an “unreachable god playing pranks on us.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Succinct, yet magisterial, this formula captured the essence of the interactions between heredity, chance, environment, variation, and evolution in determining the form and fate of an organism. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The key test of heredity would be concordance. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z To understand how chemicals can alter the course of heredity, we must first watch the basic drama of life as it is played on the stage of the living cell. Silent Spring 1962-09-27T00:00:00Z The mutants, again, would prove crucial to these experiments: only the outliers could illuminate the nature of normal heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Sporadic heredity is what the geneticists call it. Middlesex: A Novel 2002-06-05T00:00:00Z If either factor failed—if reproduction failed to produce variants or if heredity failed to transmit the variations—then nature would be mired in a ditch, the cogwheels of evolution jammed. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Back in Amsterdam, de Vries abruptly terminated his prior work on the movement of tendrils in plants and threw himself into solving the mystery of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In Cambridge, a group of young students gathered around Bateson to study the new science of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z To this reader, at least, it can hardly be argued that Mendel was unaware of the far-reaching implications of his study: he was trying to unlock the material basis and laws of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z If heredity had no means of maintaining variance—of “fixing” the altered trait—then all alterations in characters would eventually vanish into colorless oblivion by virtue of blending. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z How did Mendel’s abstract “unit of heredity” become manifest as a physical trait? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In the Soviet Union in the 1930s, left-wing scientists and intellectuals proposed that nothing about heredity was inherent at all. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Reading over the lists, I found myself trying to imagine the support groups for those struggling to overcome their fears of rust or teeth, heredity or string. Me Talk Pretty One Day 2000-05-02T00:00:00Z The students of heredity, especially, understand all of their subject except their subject. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “We are interested in heredity not primarily as a mathematical formulation,” he wrote, “but rather as a problem concerning the cell, the egg and the sperm.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The central quest of the study of heredity seemed like an object perceived only through its shadows, tantalizingly invisible to science. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Among the herbicides are some that are classified as “mutagens,” or agents capable of modifying the genes, the materials of heredity. Silent Spring 1962-09-27T00:00:00Z How could “particles of information”—pixels of heredity—give rise to the observed smoothness of the living world? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But even as geneticists celebrated the synthesis of heredity, evolution, and natural selection, the material nature of the gene remained an unsolved puzzle. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But in the early 1800s, it seemed as if the entire field of heredity and embryogenesis had reached a conceptual impasse. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Darwin tried to envision a theory of heredity that would be compatible with evolution. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Nazism and Lysenkoism were based on dramatically opposed conceptions of heredity—but the parallels between the two movements are striking. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Wells agreed with Galton’s impulses to manipulate heredity as a means to create a “fitter society.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z That evening, Bateson was traveling to the city to deliver a lecture on heredity at the Royal Horticultural Society. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z She weathered the buffets of history with resilience—but she weathered the buffets of heredity with something more than resilience: a grace that we, as her descendants, can only hope to emulate. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “That the fundamental aspects of heredity should have turned out to be so extraordinarily simple supports us in the hope that nature may, after all, be entirely approachable,” Thomas Morgan, the influential geneticist, wrote. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z First, genes had to explain the phenomenon of variation: How could discrete units of heredity explain that human eyes, say, do not have six discrete forms but seemingly 6 billion continuous variants? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But what features of heredity might solve Darwin’s problem? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But if heredity was transmitted as information, then how was that information encoded? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “What will happen when...enlightenment actually comes to pass and the facts of heredity are...commonly known?” he wrote, with striking prescience, in 1905. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton may have derided the “microscope” of experimental geneticists, but the tool was far more powerful than Galton had presumed, for it could penetrate the outer shell of heredity into the mechanism itself. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The young dog, too, was hungry; but he would have to be on the verge of starvation before the barriers of deep-rooted Labrador heredity would be broken, down. The Incredible Journey 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z Aristotle was wrong in his partitioning of male and female contributions into “material” and “message,” but abstractly, he had captured one of the essential truths about the nature of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Nicknamed “Mendel’s bulldog”—an animal that he resembled both in countenance and temperament—Bateson traveled to Germany, France, Italy, and the United States, giving talks on heredity that emphasized Mendel’s discovery. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z By the late 1800s, the problem of heredity had acquired a near-mystical aura of glamour, like a Fermat’s Last Theorem for biologists. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Did Mendel know that he was trying to uncover general laws that govern heredity? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Between 1890 and 1900, even as questions and concerns about human heredity and its manipulation became central to policy makers in America and Europe, Mendel’s name and his work were lost to the world. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z He may have misunderstood the biological basis of human heredity—but at least he understood what to do about it. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “Of course they don’t. How can they? They don’t know what it’s like being anything else. We’d mind, of course. But then we’ve been differently conditioned. Besides, we start with a different heredity.” Brave New World 1932-01-01T00:00:00Z He had tapped, at last, into heredity’s inner logic. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z By this, I mean the following: if you consider the major questions raging through the biological sciences in the late nineteenth century, heredity does not rank particularly high on that list. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The “new country” demanded a new language: Mendel’s “units of heredity” had to be christened. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The gene—the fundamental unit of heredity—must also be made of subunits, he reasoned, and the structure of DNA should illuminate these subunits. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But Darwin kept returning to the mechanism of heredity: What had made the long-necked antelope emerge in the first place? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In the late 1880s, Galton boldly synthesized all his observations into his most mature hypothesis on heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Darwin's “gemmule” theory—that hereditary instructions were thrown adrift by all cells and then floated in the blood, like a million messages in bottles—suggested that blood transfusions might transmit gemmules and thereby alter heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z By the early 1940s, biochemists had broken cells apart to reveal their chemical constituents and identified various molecules in living systems—but the molecule that carried the code of heredity was still unknown. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The flow of biological information was not restricted to heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Davenport instructed his judges to examine the parents before judging the children: “You should score 50% for heredity before you begin to examine a baby.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Mendel did not give this unit of heredity a name, but he had discovered the most essential features of a gene.* The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z There was no denying Jenkin’s inescapable logic: to salvage Darwin’s theory of evolution, he needed a congruent theory of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The world’s greatest biological thinkers, having pored over the problem of heredity, had scarcely advanced the field beyond the cryptic musings of two men who had lived on two Greek islands two thousand years earlier. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “Hasn’t it occurred to you that an Epsilon embryo must have an Epsilon environment as well as an Epsilon heredity?” Brave New World 1932-01-01T00:00:00Z We both use nucleic acids for heredity; we both use proteins as enzymes to control the chemistry of our cells. Cosmos 1980-01-01T00:00:00Z While the molecular description of the gene clarified the mechanism of the transmission of heredity, it only deepened the puzzle that had preoccupied Thomas Morgan in the 1920s. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In time, both visions would converge, giving rise to the most important synthesis in modern biology, and the most powerful understanding of human heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But for more complex traits, such as intelligence or mental illness, the establishment of heredity was vastly more complex. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The Russian Revolution may not have been about genes, but it was very much about heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Like Ploetz, Siemens realized that genetic cleansing could be justified only if scientists could first establish heredity: you could justify sterilizing a blind man only if you could establish that his blindness was inherited. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z He requested DNA samples of Bobby’s nephews to determine, through their familial heredity, whether the samples taken from the gravesite actually matched Bobby’s DNA. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z A “theorem” of heredity existed; it was merely waiting to be known. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z A theory of heredity, Darwin realized, was not peripheral to a theory of evolution; it was of pivotal importance. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z It took a mind as precise and analytical as Aristotle’s to systematically dismantle Pythagoras’s theory of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z By the end of the seventeenth century, preformation was considered the most logical and consistent explanation for human and animal heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In Darwin’s time, the most commonly accepted mechanism of heredity was a theory advanced by the eighteenth-century French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z If the gene was the central currency of biological information, then major characteristics of the living world—not just heredity—should be explicable in terms of genes. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z And finally, the relationship between an organism’s physical or mental attributes and heredity was much more complex than anticipated. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z To deconvolute the effects of heredity and environment, Siemens suggested comparing fraternal twins to identical twins. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Morgan wanted to uncover the physical basis of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The gene, Morgan realized, solves one problem—the transmission of heredity—but creates another: the development of organisms. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The weight of heredity is not an abstraction for me. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In 1883, with rather grim determination, the German embryologist August Weismann had performed an experiment that directly attacked Darwin's gemmule theory of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Within the nucleus, the chromosomes mysteriously move and divide, ranging themselves in age- old patterns that will serve to distribute the determiners of heredity, the genes, to the daughter cells. Silent Spring 1962-09-27T00:00:00Z Genes had been described as “particles of heredity,” but that description carried no information about what that “particle” was in a chemical or physical sense. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z If they were right, he observed, “such phenomena as heredity and memory and intelligence, and our ideas of morality and religion ... are explainable in terms of positive and negative electrons and ether.” Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z He filled his notebooks with the scientific aspects of love, with questions about breeding and heredity. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Darwin wondered incessantly about a mechanism of heredity that could achieve these counterbalanced properties. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Natural selection was not operating on organisms but on their units of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z At first, Morgan was not even interested in whether units of heredity existed or how or where they were stored. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The transmission of heredity, as Aristotle perceived it, was essentially the transmission of information. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Genetics, he called it: the study of heredity and variation—the word ultimately derived from the Greek genno, “to give birth.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Model organisms had failed to reveal the mechanism of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z For traits such as hemophilia, this was straightforward: one hardly needed twin studies to establish heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z For Darwin’s theory to work, heredity had to possess constancy and inconstancy, stability and mutation. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The “province of knowledge” that Galton felt particularly inclined to explore was heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Loitering on Earth potentially meant finding oneself abruptly classed as biologically unacceptable, a menace to the pristine heredity of the race. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? 1968-01-02T00:00:00Z Unable to arrive at a theory of heredity via experimental means, Darwin was forced to conjure one up from purely theoretical grounds. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Schrödinger was trying to conjure up a chemical that would capture the divergent, contradictory qualities of heredity—a molecule to satisfy Aristotle. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z By then, heredity, illness, normalcy, family, and identity had become recurrent themes of conversation in my family. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But the real conundrum that heredity solves is much more general: What is the nature of instruction that allows an organism to build a nose—any nose—in the first place? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The measurement of variance and heredity in humans, Galton reasoned, should unlock the secret. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Deciphering the laws of heredity, he wrote, would transform “man’s outlook on the world, and his power over nature” more “than any other advance in natural knowledge that can be foreseen.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z His study discussed transformation as a curiosity of microbial biology, but never explicitly mentioned the discovery of a potential chemical basis of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Henry Maudsley, the psychiatrist, launched the first attack, questioning Galton’s assumptions about heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton was not the first to attempt to model human heredity by measuring variation in humans. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z It had taken two excruciatingly slow decades for Hugo de Vries to become a convert to Mendel’s ideas of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Occasionally, the feature transmitted through heredity was not even corporeal: a manner of walking, say, or a way of staring into space, or even a state of mind. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Like Morgan, Muller hoped to use mutants to understand heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Had Mendel stopped his experiments here, he would already have made a major contribution to a theory of heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The topic of disagreement is unknown, but likely concerned species formation, variation, and heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z If heredity too had a universal natural law, then it was likely influencing the genesis of peas as much as the genesis of humans. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Armed with real numbers, Galton could now find the elusive “law of heredity” that he had hunted so ardently for decades. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But while this description of the mechanism of heredity solved Mendel’s question—how does like beget like?—it failed to solve Darwin's converse riddle: How does like beget unlike? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z A unit of heredity must carry the code to build a metabolic or cellular function specified by a protein. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z I was saying to someone the other day I thought it was to do with Kingsley, the taint of heredity. Martin Amis: a new chapter in America 2012-06-02T23:04:03Z It is a social and legal definition — a young, crude one at that, overlaid on the tangled realities of ancestral heredity. Charles Murray Returns, Nodding to Caution but Still Courting Controversy 2020-02-12T05:00:00Z Researchers in Britain and the United States quickly drew a link between Galton’s idea and the genetic mechanisms of heredity outlined twenty years earlier by Augustinian monk Gregor Mendel. Hitler’s favorite American: “Biological fascism” in the shadow of New York City 2014-03-23T10:58:00Z As Zimmer’s healthy daughters grew up, his thoughts moved from their specific genetic legacies to a broader wonder about heredity itself and how we understand it. In an Age of Gene Editing and Surrogacy, What Does Heredity Mean? 2018-05-31T04:00:00Z Zimmer does a deep dive into the question of heredity, exploring everything from how genetic ancestry works to the thorny question of how race is defined, biologically. 9 New Books We Recommend This Week 2018-06-21T04:00:00Z Ideas built on a wrongheaded understanding of heredity had devastating consequences. In an Age of Gene Editing and Surrogacy, What Does Heredity Mean? 2018-05-31T04:00:00Z In Mary Page’s case, it might be more accurate to say that it is heredity — or the culture of family that we cannot control — that shapes our ends. Review: ‘Mary Page Marlowe’ Traces a Woman’s Evolution in Phases and Fragments 2016-04-17T04:00:00Z Winters dutifully traces Shepard’s major themes: the mutability of identity counterposed against the taint of heredity, the blight of “progress” and the fatal consequences of our alienation from the land.
