Sentences with SOMATOGENIC (5)
They are, as I have recently expressed it, purely somatogenic characters--viz., characters which emanate from the body (_soma_) only, as opposed to the germ-cells; they are, therefore, characters that do not arise from the germ itself.
Adami remarks that Weismann would make the somewhat subtle distinction that the toxins produce these results not by acting on the body-cells but by direct action on the germ-cells, that the inheritance is blastogenic not somatogenic, and calls this 'a sorry and almost Jesuitic play upon words.' On the contrary, it is the essential point, which Adami fails to appreciate.
