WHAT DOES PANGENE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pangenesis

Pangenesis was Charles Darwin's hypothetical mechanism for heredity. He presented this 'provisional hypothesis' in his 1868 work The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication and felt that it brought 'together a multitude of facts which are at present left disconnected by any efficient cause'. The etymology of the word comes from the Greek words pan and genesis or genos. The hypothesis was eventually replaced by Mendel's laws of inheritance. The pangenesis theory, similarly to Hippocrates's views on the topic, imply that the whole of parental organisms participate to heredity—thus the prefix pan--, while adapting to cell theory. Much of Darwin's model was speculatively based on inheritance of tiny heredity particles he called gemmules that could be transmitted from parent to offspring. Darwin emphasized that only cells could regenerate new tissues or generate new organisms. He posited that atomic sized gemmules formed by cells would diffuse and aggregate in the reproductive organs.
