Speculating the Passage of Traits Across Human Generations
1:29:38 - 1:35:34 (05:56)
The possibility of passing on an acquired trait across human generations is entertained by injecting RNAs to worms, as shown to demonstrate similar cases, to have something in the genetic instructions that could provide advantages to the offspring when confronted with similar things as the parents did.

Worms can transmit information in the form of RNA molecules to protect offspring against viruses.

RNA transmission
Summary
Worms can transmit information in the form of RNA molecules to protect offspring against viruses. Researchers are studying this process to understand transmission of acquired traits in organisms.

The phenomenon of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance occurs in worms where the parents can effectively arm their offspring with a higher threshold to stress through their genetic instructions that would afford a survival advantage.
