Nuetrik [128]
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.

WILL BRAINLIST CORRECT ANSWER PLATO
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

I believe the first one would be incomplete dominance, the second would be multiple alleles, and the third would be codominance.

Explanation:

The first one would be incomplete dominance because the child has a blend of the man's straight hair and the woman's curly hair, but neither of two hair types are completely dominant (if that makes sense).

The second one would be multiple alleles because, well, there are multiple alleles listed (more straightforward than the other two).

And the third one would be codominance because the traits of red color and white color are equally dominant.
