Give difference Amongest Lamarckism, Darwinism and Mutation Theory.
Properties | Lamarckism | Darwinism | Mutation Theory |
$(a)$ Vital force | The theory believes that every organism has an internal vital force that tends to increase its size upto a certain limit. | Darwinism does. not believe in internal vital force. | No internal vital force is involved. |
$(b)$ Conscious Reaction |
Animals with well developed nervous system react consciously to any change in environment. | Darwinism does not involve any conscious reaction. | No conscious reaction is belived to take part in the process of evolution. |
$(c)$ Appetency | The theory considers appetency or desires on the part of animals an important force in the development of modifications. | It is not a constituent of the theory. | Appetency is not involved. |
$(d)$ Use and disuse | The organs put to more use are believed to develop more while organs not used begin to degenerate. | The theory is silent about use and discuss of organs. | The theory is silent about it. |

Assertion : Natural selection is the outcome of difference in survival and reproduction among individuals that show variation in one or more traits.
Reason : Adaptive forms of a given trait tend to become more common; less adaptive ones become less common or disappear.
