Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of variability and heredity in protists, specifically in the protozoan Paramecium. The author, a prominent biologist of the early 20th century, conducted extensive experiments on Paramecium to investigate the questions of whether acquired characteristics could be inherited and whether natural selection could act on individual traits within a species, as had been proposed by Darwin. By subjecting Paramecium to controlled environmental changes and selective breeding, the author sought to determine the extent to which their characteristics could be modified and whether these modifications could be passed on to subsequent generations. The book provides a wealth of data and insights into the mechanisms of heredity and the nature of genetic variation in protists, contributing to the broader understanding of these fundamental biological processes.
