What changes that occur during differentiation in a multicellular organism?
Differentiation occurs several times during the development of a multicellular organism. The organism changes from a simple zygote to a complex system of tissues and cell types.
What changes that an or organism undergoes during its life?
yeast
What changes during a mutation?
Mutations can improve the trait, harm the trait, or neither.
Acquired characteristics lead to evolution?
Acquired characteristics acquired during an organism's lifetime cannot be passed on to offspring according to modern evolutionary theory. Evolution is driven by genetic variations that are inherited and can lead to changes in a population over time through natural selection.
What are traits that are gained during an organism's life and not determined genetically?
Examples of traits gained during an organism's life (acquired traits) include skills learned through experience, such as playing an instrument or riding a bike. Additionally, environmental factors like exposure to sunlight can affect skin tone. These traits are not determined by an organism's genetic makeup and are developed during an individual's lifetime.
What are the series of changes that an organism undergoes during its lifetime called?
The series of changes that an organism undergoes during its lifetime is called its life cycle. This includes stages such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death. Each species has a unique life cycle.
The study of the growth and development of an organism during its lifetime is?
developmental anatomy
What was incorrect about Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's theory of how organsims evolve?
One major flaw in Lamarck's theory was the idea of inheritance of acquired characteristics, which proposed that an organism could pass on traits acquired during its lifetime to its offspring. This concept has been disproven by genetics, as changes to an organism's phenotype during its lifetime cannot be passed on to future generations through its genes. Additionally, Lamarck's theory did not account for the role of natural selection in driving evolutionary change.

How is the lifetime of a star comparable to stellar evolution?
Stellar evolution is the term for the changes a star undergoes during its lifetime.
What changes during a mutation?
Mutations can improve the trait, harm the trait, or neither.
What was the problem with lamarcks theory?
Lamarck's theory, known as Lamarckism, proposed that organisms could pass on traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring, a concept often summarized as "inheritance of acquired characteristics." The main problem with this theory is that it lacks genetic basis; traits that are acquired due to environmental changes or behaviors are not typically encoded in an organism's DNA and thus cannot be inherited. Modern genetics, particularly the understanding of DNA and Mendelian inheritance, has shown that evolution primarily occurs through natural selection acting on heritable genetic variations, not through the inheritance of traits acquired during an organism's lifetime.
Why was Lamarck theory discredited?
At first, because it could not be shown that changes to the organism acquired during its life were inherited by its offspring. Later, when we learned more about genetics, and ultimately DNA, this rejection was confirmed. Note though that since a few decades, we know of mechanisms that *do* allow certain changes at the molecular level acquired during the organism's lifetime to be inherited by offspring. This field of study is called: epigenetics.

How many developmental stages to individual passes through during a lifetime?
An individual typically passes through four key developmental stages in a lifetime: infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. These stages are characterized by physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes that occur as a person grows and matures.
