How can Lamarck’s theory be woven in knowing our understanding of genetics

Biology

Kitty [74]3 years ago
4 0
Lamarck is best known for his Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics: If an organism changes during life in order to adapt to its environment, those changes are passed on to its offspring. He said that change is made by what the organisms want or need. For example, Lamarck believed that elephants all used to have short trunks. When there was no food or water that they could reach with their short trunks, they stretched their trunks to reach the water and branches, and their offspring inherited long trunks. Lamarck also said that body parts that are not being used, such as the human appendix and little toes are gradually disappearing. Eventually, people will be born without these parts. Lamarck also believed that evolution happens according to a predetermined plan and that the results have already been decided. Lamarcks theory has been disproven and shows that acquired traits are not passed on to offspring.

How does inbreeding alter genotype and allele frequencies?
erik [133]

Explanation:

The inbreeding process, are blood crossings between relatives who have a common ancestor. Inbreeding leads to an increase in the frequency of homozygous genotypes and a decrease in the frequency of heterozygotes. We may also note that although changes in genotypic frequencies occur, no changes in allelic frequencies are observed over successive generations of self-fertilization. The main consequence of 2 individuals sharing one or more common ancestors is that they may carry replicas (identical copies) of one or more genes present in these ancestors. And if these individuals mate, they can pass on such replicas to their offspring, generating self-sibling offspring, that is, with two identical copies of the same gene that was present in these common ancestors.

Identify and describe layer B in the figure above.
lukranit [14]
Based on the image, it seems that the picture is of the layers of the atmosphere. Now the B layer is the thermosphere. It is found in between the mesosphere (layer below) and the ionosphere (layer above). It extends up to 600 km high and you can find satellites and the aurora here. Temperature here is higher as the height increases and it is because of this trait, its name thermosphere was based on on. "Thermo," in Greek means heat. It overlaps with the ionosphere.
