Question

Lamarckian theory doesn’t deal with

• A. Germplasm
• B. Theory of vital internal force
• C. Environmental factors
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Germplasm

Theory of continuity of germplasm was proposed by August Weismann. He stated that any characters that are acquired due to changes in the germ cells are the ones which get inherited by the next generation whereas Lamarckism supported the fact that all acquired characters whether its somatic or gametic gets inherited by the offspring.

Lamarckism strongly supported the fact that the body's internal vital force and environmental factors lead to the evolution of organisms.
