Vedclass · Answer

(D) According to Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characters,traits developed during an organism's lifetime due to use and disuse of organs or environmental influence are passed on to the next generation.Lamarckism suggests that if an individual acquires a trait (like intelligence or physical changes),it should be inherited by their offspring.However,the observation that highly intelligent individuals (like Nobel laureates) can have offspring with average or lower intelligence contradicts the idea that acquired intellectual traits are inherited.Therefore,the dull progeny of a Nobel laureate cannot be explained by Lamarckism.
