Answer:

The correct answer will be acquired traits can be passed to offspring.

Explanation:

Lamarck is known for his idea of "inheritance of acquired traits" by studying neck size of giraffes and stated that:

1. New organs or traits can be produced by long use during lifetime as response to external environment,

2. characteristic is inherited to the next or succeeding generations.

3. Organ can disappear if not used.

Scientists were not able to find and explain evidence for the theory for example :

1. The blacksmith’s arm- enlarges when used continuously against external resistance like weight of the hammer but it is not necessary that the smith’s children at birth would have large arms or later in his life.

2. Skilled Hands of a musician- skillful hands of a musician causes no increase in the size of the fingers and this trait might be passed to musician’s children and they also play instrument skillfully with no practice.

Thus, acquired traits can be passed to offspring  is the correct answer.

According to the graph, we can see that the white cans cool a little bit slower than black cans on the same conditions.
On the first ten minutes, we can see that the temperature of water in black cans decreased from 100°C to 50°C. and the temperature of water in white cans decreased from 100°C to 75°C.
To explain this, you need to know what is a dark and white color?
<span>it's a color in which the total absorption of all wavelengths and none of these wavelengths will be reflected. But since light is a form of energy expression, </span>we can conclude that the black color has no energy on it. on the opposite of the white color, which absorbs all wavelengths, so it has energy on it (which will turn into heat), and that's why it could keep the temperature better than the dark color (all is about energy).
