Hard inheritance is the exact opposite of the term soft inheritance , coined by Ernst Mayr to contrast ideas about Biological inheritance inheritance . Hard inheritance states that characteristics of an organism s offspring passed on through DNA will not be affected by the actions that the parental organism performs during its lifetime. For example a medieval blacksmith who uses only his right arm to forge steel will not sire a son with a stronger right arm than left because the blacksmith s actions do not alter his genetic code. The hard inheritance model excludes ideas of Lamarckism . Inheritance due to usage and non usage is excluded. Inheritance follows ideas of the synthetic theory of evolution References Richards EJ May 2006 . Inherited epigenetic variation revisiting soft inheritance . Nat. Rev.

Knismesis The knismesis phenomenon requires low levels of stimulation to sensitive parts of the body, and can be triggered by a light touch or by a light electrical current . Knismesis can also be triggered by crawling insect s or parasite s, prompting scratching or rubbing at the ticklish spot, thereby removing the pest. It is possible that this function explains why knismesis produces a similar response in many different kinds of animals. ref name Harris In a famous example, described in Peter Benchley s Shark , it is possible to tickle the area just under the snout of a great white shark , putting it into a near hypnosis hypnotic trance . ref http www.newscientist.com article mg17623725.500 the word knismesis.html The word knismesis New Scientist , 7 December 2002. ref Gargalesis The gargalesis type of tickle works on human s and primate s, and possibly on other species. ref name Provine Provine, R.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Magnetic boots are boot s that are Magnetism magnetic , which allows them to attach to the ferrous floor or Fuselage hulls of a spacecraft during weightlessness , and presumably would allow someone to walk around the Aircraft cabin cabin of a spacecraft, but they would still feel weightless. Use by astronauts Magnetic boots have not been used in actual space flight because of the potential for magnetic interference with navigation and communication systems. Use in science fiction Although many science fiction works assume some type of artificial gravity or use rotation to create gravity, magnetic boots still feature for purposes of exterior repairs or in emergency situations. Magnetic boots were notably used in Star Trek The Undiscovered Country to stage a surprise attack by disabling the artificial gravity on a ship and so providing a military tactics tactical advantage to attackers wearing them. The investigation of who had access to magnetic boots featured prominently in the plot. Other Star Trek depictions include Star Trek First Contact where the crew battle cyborgs on the hull of the ship and Star Trek Enterprise where they are used for hull repairs. Such boots were featured in the The Adventures of Tintin Tintin story Explorers on the Moon , to prevent the characters from floating around in the cabin if the artificial gravity failed. The Celestial Voyages historical science fiction series by Jeff Provine uses magnetic boots as the main sense of balance in its Edwardian starships. In the Ratchet & Clank series , one of the gadgets is a pair of Magneboots , which are used to traverse special ventilation shafts in the first installment of the series Ratchet & Clank . Though in Ratchet & Clank Going Commando and later, the Magneboots were replaced with the Gravity Boots, allowing one to walk up special vents and surfaces, to jump and walk like normal, and also to use weapons and other gadgets.
