Question

Which of the following statements would be a part of Lamarck's belief system? Select all that apply.- Changes to an organism's phenotype would change an individual's genotype.- Body parts that were not used would disappear.- Traits that are passed on were already present in the population.- Extinction occurs.

Answer 1

As we know Lamark's proposals were based on the inheritance of acquired characters as well as the atrophy and hypertrophy of organs, in the first case those traits that the organism acquired during its life could be inherited, meanwhile in the second implies that those organs not used disappear meanwhile those used will be developed even more. So taking this into consideration we can say that the first and second options are correct.
