Blending
This idea is known as blending inheritance, which suggests that traits from the parents blend together to produce offspring with a mix of characteristics. However, modern genetics has shown that offspring inherit specific genes from each parent, leading to a more complex inheritance pattern through genetic recombination.
The phrase used in Genesis is "according to their kind." This phrase emphasizes the idea that living things reproduce offspring that are similar to themselves in characteristics and traits. It reflects the concept of heredity and genetic principles guiding the passing of traits from parents to offspring.
Blending inheritance suggests a type of inheritance where the traits of the parents are mixed together in the offspring, resulting in an intermediate phenotype. This concept contrasts with the idea of particulate or Mendelian inheritance, where discrete units (alleles) are passed from parents to offspring without blending.
Lamarck's theory is disproved through many different examples of acquired characteristics. Anything that happens to a parent would be passed on to the offspring. Acoording to Lamarck, a parent that has tattoos would pass on the tattoos to the offspring. Loss of limb, injuries, cosmetic surgery or anything that changed in the parents would manifest in the offspring. This is not the case. Acquired characteristics are not passed on to offspring unless they change the gene sequence of the sex cells. Parents do not give physical characteristics to offspring, but do give the coding for those characteristics. The gene passes on the trait.
Mendel's experiments with pea plants showed that traits are inherited independently and are controlled by discrete units (genes), which are passed on unchanged from parent to offspring. This disproved the idea that traits from parents are blended together and instead highlighted the concept of genetic segregation and independent assortment in inheritance.
i have no idea :D
One of the strongest natural proofs against the idea of hereditary meaning is the concept of genetic mutations, which can lead to variations in traits and characteristics that are not directly inherited from parents.

Yes, mutations can be passed from parents to offspring. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can be inherited if they occur in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) of the parent and are passed on to the next generation.

Larmark's theory was based on the idea that organisms inherited characteristics that they had acquired in life - so, if you have a scar your offspring will have scars. Darwin's theory assumed that offspring inherited characteristics from their parents, but they were more likely to survive to breed if there was advantage to those characteristics.
Yes, the idea is to produce offspring that are better than the parents. Random mating or mating inferior animals does not lend itself to breed improvement.

Your Parents and their parents and their parents and their parents...you get the idea=)
