Who theorized that organisms evolve by passing on advantageous traits to their offspring?
Lamarck did. Neodarwinism theorises that species evolve when gene frequencies change, not individual organisms. Larmarkism is true for epigenetic inheritance, favourable and unfavourable characteristics alike.
How did lamark propose that species change over time?
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck suggested an idea that Darwin would later expand upon. Lamarck suggested that any changes a creature underwent during its lifetime would be passed down to the offspring. He also believed unused parts would just go away over time, due to this.
Who was the first to offer a scientific explanation for how species changed?
Jean- Baptiste Lamarck
Who first use the word biome?
Ecologist Frederic Clements was credited as the first to propose the word 'biome' as synonymous with 'biotic community' in 1916
What were lamark's theories?
Lamarck's theory is that he thought that the long necks from giraffes come from other species of mammals.
Which idea did Lamarck propose that was rejected by fellow scientist?
That organisms pass on traits acquired in their lifetimes. It was rejected in favour of Darwinian evolution, in which species and not individuals evolve, but Larmarckism is valid to a point where epigenetics is concerned.
How did Lamarck propose that species change over time?
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
Who believed that species evolve by keeping traits that their parents developed during their lives?
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
What was wrong about lamarck's theory of how species evolve?
Lamarck's theory is based on acquired characteristics. In other words if you break your arm your future children will be born with broken arms.

Lamarck did. Neodarwinism theorises that species evolve when gene frequencies change, not individual organisms. Larmarkism is true for epigenetic inheritance, favourable and unfavourable characteristics alike.
What did lamarck propose a scientific explanation for?
Lamarck hypothesized that organisms evolved through the inhertitance of acquired charactaristics.
Which idea did lamarck propose that was rejected by his fellow scientists?
That organisms pass on traits acquired in their lifetimes. It was rejected in favour of Darwinian evolution, in which species and not individuals evolve, but Larmarckism is valid to a point where epigenetics is concerned.
What did Lamarck propose a scientific explanation for and why?
Lamarck proposed a scientific explanation for evolution because organisms evovled through the inherititance of acquired charactaristics.
Stated that inheritance of acquired traits caused change in a species over time?
Lamarck thought acquired traits were past on, but he was prover wrong by Darwin and his natural selection idea.
