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.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

a. People with celiac disease should include foods with dietary fiber such as beans, fruits, vegetables, brown rice, and quinoa.

e. Home-cooked meals are a good way to increase variety and reduce the cost of a gluten-free diet.

Explanation:

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, as stated above. This disease causes the defense cells of an organism to attack the stomach cells causing an inflammation that is extended and stimulated by the glutem. As a result, the individual has diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, anemia, a feeling of fullness, colic, abdominal discomfort, severe pain and may even develop ulcers and cancers.

Glutem is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye and for that reason, individuals with this disease should avoid these foods or foods derived from them. This type of diet should accompany the sick person for life and they should be encouraged to eat homemade foods that know the origin and composition. In addition, it is necessary that these people feed on dietary fibers, such as beans, fruits, vegetables, brown rice and quinoa.

  • A polygenic or a multiple gene inheritance is a hypothetical gene that s often difficult to characterize and traits control a multiple of genetic loci, they are relatively small and interchangeable.
