This was Lamarck's idea. Here's an example: Suppose giraffes originally had short necks that they stretched to reach high-up leaves in the trees. This continuous stretching of the neck was passed onto offspring, who as a result had slightly longer necks. This continued for multiple generations until we get today's long-necked giraffe. Lamarck was on to something (that something being evolution by natural selection, which Darwin discovered), but his theory wasn't completely correct since organisms can only pass on genes (segments of DNA that code for a characteristic or function) to their offspring. Since "stretching" would not code into DNA, it wouldn't be passed onto offspring, proving Lamarck's theory incorrect.
When the liquid metal that creates the outer core of the earth passes through a magnetic field, it begins to carry the electric current through the liquid. This current makes its own, much stronger magnetic field.
Answer:
An atom with a single electron in its outermostshell
Explanation:
(A) a change in a developmental gene or in its regulation that altered that spatial organization
Answer: People who have received radiation treatment are 15 times more likely to develop benign thyroid tumors relative to does who have not.
Explanation:
Relative risk of benign thyroid tumor = (52/2872)/(6/5055)
= 0.018/0.0012
= 15
