- ALamarck was a nineteenth century British naturalist. He voyaged the Galapagos Islands and developed a theory to explain how evolution might have occurred.
- BLamarck was a French Naturalist who lived during the 18th century, he created the theory of acquired characteristics.
- CLamarck was a French Naturalist who lived during the 18th century, he created the thoery on how evolution might have occurred.
2Lamarck Theory of acquired characteristics attempted to explain how evolution might have occurred. This theory had two basic assumptions which were:
- AThe Law of Use and Disuse.
- BThe Law of inheritance and acquired characteristics.
- CThe Law of acquired characteristics and natural selection.
- AThe Law of Use and Disuse.
3The law of use and disuse states that part of an organisms body that are use frequently will not become as developed as parts which are used less or not at all. Those parts which are used will eventually disappear.
- ATrue
- BFalse
4Lamarck had an idea, that organisms evolved. Was this new news?
- ANo.
- BYes.

- ATrue
- BFalse
6What was Lamarck's flaw with his theory of acquired characteristics due to his lack of understanding ?
