LAMARCK's THEORY
Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) proposed a theory which was published in "<em>Philosophie Zoologique"</em> (1809). This theory is simply known as Lamarckism. It has two main postulates:
1. Use and disuse of organs
2. Inheritance of acquired characters.
Example
He explained his theory by giving the examples:
1. Neck length of Girrafes
2. Webbed toes of water birds, and
3. Wings of penguins
Explanation
Lamarck explained that water birds use toe for swimming, with the passage of time webbed were developed in their toes. these features were then transferred to their offspring.
Drawback
Lamarck theory was based on natural observation. It did not explain the genetic basis of such characteristics.
A analogous structure are practically equivalent to structures are highlights of diverse species that are comparative in work but not fundamentally in structure and which don't determine from a common genealogical highlight (compare to homologous structures) and which advanced in reaction to a comparative natural challenge.
(A) a change in a developmental gene or in its regulation that altered that spatial organization
