Answer:

Lamark suggested that organisms can acquire traits which benefit them without any genetic means. He suggested that a change was gradually introduced into organisms of a species during their lifetime and this change could then be seen in the offsprings.

This idea was wrong because an organisms characteristics cannot change in his lifetime.

The theory of Lamarck's inheritance can be disregarded by our knowledge about hereditary genetics.

Answer:

Lamarck thought organisms changed during their lifetimes based on their needs and that those changes were then passed on to the next generation. This is incorrect because organisms cannot acquire traits during their lifetimes, like longer arms or a longer neck, and pass them on to their offspring.

Answer:

The correct option is B. Rr × rr

Explanation:

To illustrate the results, lets make a cross between RR and rr.

r r

R Rr Rr

r rr rr

The results from the following punnet square show that there will be a 50% probability that the offsprings will have heterozygous genotype Rr and they will be round.

The results from the punnet square show that there will be a 50% probability that the offsprings will be recessive and hence will have wrinkled seeds.

Suppose you are an astronomer, and a child asks you to explain how long it takes light to travel through space. In your own word

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Ok so I would start by saying that light has a maximum speed, then explain that because space is so big we measure it's distance in light years and which means how light travels in a year at 186,282 miles per second Put that in perspective my saying If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Tell them Sunlight takes about 8 minutes 19 seconds to reach the Earth and that it can take millions or more light years for more distance stars light to reach our telescopes .
