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

Answer:The seminal vesicles produce mucus to neutralize the acidic environment of the vagina.
Explanation:
The seminal vesicles is found in male reproductive system which produces mucus that is alkaline in order to protect the sperm from the acidic environment of the female vagina . This also contain sugar to nourish the sperm.
The vargina is the outer opening of female reproductive system that receives the sperm. It is acidic in nature because it discharge fluids that contain liquid, cells and bacteria that lubricate and protect it.
