Question

Presence of vestigial organs supports :

• B. Germplasm theory
• C. Evolution but not Lamarck's theory
• D. Synthetic theory

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Evolution but not Lamarck's theory

During evolution an organism adapts itself to its surrounding, due to which it may make use some of its organs more than the others, as a result certain organs even though present do not develop in comparison to other organs as they are no longer used such organs are called vestigial organs.

This is not related to Lamarkism, as it explains inheritance of acquired characters

So, the correct answer is 'Evolution but not Lamarck's theory'
