Traits can be classified as autosomal dominant or recessive. A child receives alleles from each parent, a dominant trait requires one allele and a recessive requires both.

How can you use the concept of genetic inheritance to disprove Lamark's idea of the inheritance of acquired characteristics?

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.
