Distinguish between: Natural Selection and Inheritance of Acquired Characters.
(N/A) The differences between Natural Selection and Inheritance of Acquired Characters are as follows:
$1$. Natural Selection (Darwinism): This theory states that individuals with favorable variations are better adapted to their environment and have a higher chance of survival and reproduction. These variations are heritable and accumulate over generations.
$2$. Inheritance of Acquired Characters (Lamarckism): This theory suggests that characters acquired by an organism during its lifetime due to use or disuse of organs are passed on to the next generation. This hypothesis has been scientifically disproven as somatic changes are not inherited.
