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.
Answer:
water
Explanation:
, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. This is important to every living thing on earth. It means that wherever water goes, either through the ground or through our bodies, it takes along valuable chemicals, minerals, and nutrients.
Protein and Ribonucleic acids.
Answer: The mutation is substitution.
Explanation:
There are three main types of mutation:
Substitution, deletion, and insertion.
We would be able to tell right away if the second sequence had an insertion or deletion, because it would have a different number of letters than first sequence. However, it does not. Both sequences have 12 letters.
But, the 8th letter in the first sequence (T) is different from the 8th letter in the second sequence (A).
This is substitution.
