This is a theory that states that some characteristics of an individual are acquired as opposed to inherited. For example, some frogs have mutations because of pollutants in their environment, whereas a person who has blue eyes probably has them because they inherited them from their parents.
the concept that traits gained during a lifetime can be passed on to the next generation by genetic means
Jean Lamarck who proposed the theory that acquired characteristics can be inherited.
Hippocrates and Aristotle originally but it's considered to be Lamarck's idea because he was the one to link it evolution.
Lamarck proposed that acquired characters could be passed to the next generation.....

Lamarck thought that traits organisms acquired during their lifetime would be passed on to offspring. He believed that traits were determined by use or disuse. However, acquired traits cannot be passed on to offspring; only traits determined by DNA can
Lamarck proposed that by selective use or disuse of organs, organisms acquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime. Then passed onto offspring-leading to change in species
Traits are passed by DNA.
Simple inherited traits are passed down because each parent contains genes which are given to their offspring. The offspring inherits or receives these traits. The offspring then passes down those traits to their offspring. Each time there is a new generation, the original trait becomes less evident. The recessive traits decrease by a certain percent every time a new set of genes are added.
Lamarck believed an individual organism acquired traits during its lifetime and passed those traits on to its offspring. He lacked support for his ideas. Darwin documented how inherited traits could be passed on by natural selection, that adaptations that give an organism an advantage is passed on through subsequent generations and becomes more common. He had evidence for his ideas (finches, tortoises…).

They are passed along to offspring.
Lamarck proposed that by selective use and disuse of organs, organisms acquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime. These traits could then be passed on to their offspring. Over time, this led to a change in species

Yes. Lamarck hypothesised that living beings acquired traits in their life times by power of will or use and disuse and passed it onto their offspring.
Lamarck proposed that traits acquired during one's lifetime could be passed to the next generation.
As they are environmental changes, like a sun tan or scars.
