This is a theory that states that some characteristics of an individual are acquired as opposed to inherited. For example, some frogs have mutations because of pollutants in their environment, whereas a person who has blue eyes probably has them because they inherited them from their parents.

Why is lamarck's theory not supported by the theory of natural selection?
Lamarck thought that traits organisms acquired during their lifetime would be passed on to offspring. He believed that traits were determined by use or disuse. However, acquired traits cannot be passed on to offspring; only traits determined by DNA can
How did Lamarck propose that species change over time?
Lamarck proposed that by selective use or disuse of organs, organisms acquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime. Then passed onto offspring-leading to change in species
How are traits passed from parents to their offspring?
Traits are passed by DNA.
How are simple inherited traits passed from parents to their offspring and then to the next generation?
Simple inherited traits are passed down because each parent contains genes which are given to their offspring. The offspring inherits or receives these traits. The offspring then passes down those traits to their offspring. Each time there is a new generation, the original trait becomes less evident. The recessive traits decrease by a certain percent every time a new set of genes are added.
How did Lamarck's ideas differ from Darwin's?
Lamarck believed an individual organism acquired traits during its lifetime and passed those traits on to its offspring. He lacked support for his ideas. Darwin documented how inherited traits could be passed on by natural selection, that adaptations that give an organism an advantage is passed on through subsequent generations and becomes more common. He had evidence for his ideas (finches, tortoises…).
Who proposed the acquired traits could be passed on to an organisms offspring?

Which is true about adaptions?
They are passed along to offspring.
What was Lamarck's principle of use and disuse?
Lamarck proposed that by selective use and disuse of organs, organisms acquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime. These traits could then be passed on to their offspring. Over time, this led to a change in species
Explain lamarck principle of use and disuse?
Lamarck proposed that by selective use and disuse of organs, organisms acquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime. These traits could then be passed on to their offspring. Over time, this led to a change in species
Is inheritance of acquired traits part of lamarks theory?
Yes. Lamarck hypothesised that living beings acquired traits in their life times by power of will or use and disuse and passed it onto their offspring.
What were the main ideas Lamarck proposed that influenced Darwin?
Lamarck proposed that traits acquired during one's lifetime could be passed to the next generation.
Why can't acquired traits be passed down?
As they are environmental changes, like a sun tan or scars.
How did Lamarck propose that species change over time?
