<span>A. Acquired traits can be passed to offspring
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck first presented his Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics in 1801. According to his theory, if an organism changes in order to adapt to its environment, the changes are passed on the organism's offspring. Some of his proposed ideas in the theory, however, were dismissed by other scientists by experimenting and studying of genetics.</span>
The cause of the change in insect characteristics occurred when a few survivors of the 1st spray became resistant to the insecticide. When they had offspring, those insect babies are born with the trait that made them resistant to insecticide. This occurs when the parents pass on the trait to their offspring. The end result is that the insecticide is less effective and more insects survive.
The offspring did not have white fur due to the fact that white fur is a recessive trait. One parent had brown fur, which is a dominant trait, that cancels out the recessive trait and that is why the offspring did not have white fur.
