Darwin’s theory became accepted because it had more evidence that supported it. Lamarck’s theory suggest that all organisms become more complicated over time, and therefore doesn’t account for simple organisms, such as single-cell organisms. We also know through observation that characteristics inherited during an individual’s lifetime do not get passed onto their offspring; for example, if someone pierces their ear, it doesn’t mean that their children will be born with pierced ears. Darwin’s theory became even stronger when, many years after his death, the study of genetics emerged. Genetics ultimately showed that all inherited traits were passed on through genes, which are unaffected by outside world, as Lamarck would predict, and are instead naturally varied, as Darwin predicted. Though Darwin didn’t know what genes were, he could see their effect on natural selection.

Nadya [2.5K]

Bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The white blood cells (also called leukocytes) that our bone marrow produces are used to fight off diseases, and the platelets rush to a wound to form a layer over it, similar to a plate, to clot the blood and prevent bleeding. If your bone marrow dies or fails, your red blood cell count will dramatically decrease. A low blood cell count is called cytopenia. Someone who has a genetic bone marrow disease may be helped by a bone marrow transplant from a matching relative or donor. Before a transplant you get chemotherapy with or without radiation to kill off diseased red blood cells. During a bone marrow transplant you get injected with new, healthy red blood cells that make their way to your bone marrow to further grow and develop.

The answer would be (C.cat) because <span>For the cat has the most advanced biological system, whereas the unicellular algae and bacteria are microscopic in size, and while the ant does have a system and is a multi-cellular organism, the cat has a much more advanced biological system with many more functions and organs.
