Day and Bonduriansky (2011) outline a general approach for investigating the evolution of traits subject to different mechanisms of inheritance, including Mendelian-genetic inheritance alongside any mechanism of nongenetic inheritance.
For the next 40 years of his career Jennings studied the mechanisms of inheritance and variation in single-celled organisms.
Additional research during this time explored alternative mechanisms of inheritance, including epigenetic modification (the chemical modification of specific genes or gene-associated proteins), that could explain an organism's ability to transmit traits developed during its lifetime to its offspring.
Although the mechanisms of inheritance are not clear, psoriasis, like atopic dermatitis, has been thought to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait that pursues a chronically remitting and relapsing course.
Present knowledge of the mechanisms of inheritance are such that modern scientists can distinguish more satisfactorily than Darwin between non-inheritable bodily variation and variation of a genuinely inheritable kind.
Despite Jefferson's revision of Locke, property (which chiefly meant land) remained the precondition for happiness: it protected against the temptations of corruption, freed the self for inquiry and contemplation and, through the mechanisms of inheritance, fostered a sense of connection to the past and to posterity.
Other times, neutral form is governed simply by mechanisms of inheritance.
Darwin's conception of the "nature of the organism" was explicit, even if he lacked mechanisms of inheritance and ontogeny.
To address these issues, in Jano, we include the following additional mechanisms: Policy Inheritance, Hierarchical Policy Applicability and Local Filtering.
It is clear that Darwin recognized this fact, even though the mechanisms of inheritance were unknown to him.
