How do single cells mate, change, and pass on traits through the tiniest lives?
This book surveys the curious world of unicellular organisms, showing how mating, heredity, aging, and variation unfold at the level of the cell nucleus. Through classic experiments and careful observation, it invites readers to rethink what sex means in the micro realm.
Jennings guides you through the mechanisms of conjugation and nucleus exchange in organisms like Paramecium and Chilodon, and explores competing ideas about whether sex is driven by simple positions or by deeper physiological differences. The text uses clear diagrams and historical context to connect each observation to the bigger questions about life, reproduction, and evolution in single cells.
- How two cells come together and exchange genetic material through nuclear halves.
- Competing viewpoints on what creates sex—external differences versus intrinsic cellular differences.
- Examples from protozoa that illuminate the movement and reunion of nuclei during mating.
- Foundational concepts like micronuclei, macronuclei, and the idea of rejuvenescence through union.
Ideal for readers curious about the origins of heredity and the biology of life at its smallest scale.

Life and Death, Heredity and Evolution in Unicellular Organisms
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores some of the fundamental questions that have interested scientists about the nature of life, death, and our place in the universe. Drawing on the author's own experiments and observations, this book argues that the simplest organisms, microscopic life, can provide some basic and surprising answers to these complex questions. It discusses life, death, reproduction, mating, and evolution, arguing that âthe deeper we probe into the material world, the more clearly we discern that matter and energy are the stuff of thought, and that consciousness and life itself are not exempt from the universal laws of physics and chemistry." This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
