A race car driver loses his leg in an accident. Apply Lamarck's and Darwin's theories of evolution to predict whether this disability will be carried forward by his children.

a) In both Lamarck's and Darwin's theories of evolution, the physical disability will be carried forward to the children.
b) In Lamarck's theory, physical injuries will be carried forward to the children. In Darwin's theory, all children will be normal since the disability is not hereditary.
c) In Lamarck's theory, all the racer's children will be normal since the disability is not hereditary, and in Darwin's theory, physical injuries will be carried forward to the children.

It's B ! As Lamarck said that somatic change carried forward ( which is wrong) and Darwin said that changes takes millions of years and physical injury can not be passed !

So answer is B !
