Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Lamarck believed that certain parts of the body became more complex through the generations because they

• A. are most similar to Gods perfection
• B. contribute to greater reproductive success
• C. are predetermined to do so
• D. are used more extensively than other parts

Answer 1

The correct option is D are used more extensively than other parts

Lamarck believed that evolution occurs when an organism uses a body part in such a way that it is altered during its lifetime and this change is then inherited by its offspring. For example, Lamarck thought that giraffes evolved their long neck s by each generation stretching further to get leaves. This theory was called the Use and Disuse of Organs.

Hence, the correct answer is 'are used more extensively that other parts'
