What are two issues with Lamarks theory of evolution!!! I will mark brainest!!!!! Pls

Biology
1 answer:
Mkey [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • If it were true, all organisms would be complex and simple organisms would disappear
  • It does not account for genetic mutations known to affect physical traits

Explanation:

Lamark's theory of evolution is that changes in the organism's physical form during its lifetime can be passed on to its offspring.  In other words, he believed that children can inherit acquired characteristics from their parents.

The classic example is that he believed giraffes evolved long necks because they would stretch upwords to eat leaves from tall trees, elongating their necks, and then would pass on a longer neck to its children. Or in humans, that a body builder would make a muscular child because of their intense training!

There are a few problems with this theory:

  • If we believe this theory, organisms would always be getting more and more complex and 'improved', so simple organisms would disappear.
  • We know that changes to the DNA influence inherited physical characteristics, not simply continued use

How do protons contribute towards making ATP?...
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: Protons contribute towards making ATP by producing proton-motive force that provides energy for ATP synthesis.

Explanation: In the respiratory chain, the transfer of electrons from one complex to another is accompanied by pumping of protons out of the matrix. This creates a difference in proton concentration and separation of charge across the mitochondrial inner membrane. The electrochemical energy inherent in this difference in proton concentration called proton-motive force is used to drive ATP synthesis as protons flow back passively into the matrix through a proton pore.
