Giraffes have long necks because their ancestors stretched their necks reaching for food, and this trait was passed on their offspring.

How is Darwin's theory of Evolution and Lamarck's theory of Evolution alike?
The primary difference between Darwin's and Lamarck's approaches to evolution (if I remember correctly) was that Darwin believed that evolution operated primarily through breeding and death: members of a species that have unproductive characteristics tend to die early and have less opportunity to produce offspring, and so their characteristics are not passed on to future generations. Lamarck, by contrast, thought that environmental conditions could exert a direct (if slight) influence on the genome, so that parents would tend to produce offspring that were better suited to the environment they lived in. For example, Darwin would explain the thick fur and subcutaneous fat deposits of cold-climate animals by saying that members of the species with less fur and fat would die more easily and earlier in cold weather; Lamarck would explain the same result by saying that the cold climate induced the organisms to produce more fur and fat, and their offspring would be born with a greater capacity to produce those things than their parents. Lamarck's theory has not been disproved - scientists still do not have a clear understanding of the process of evolution - but for various non-scientific reasons it is less accepted in the scientific community (primarily, I think, because it opens the door to a teleological argument abut the nature of species that most scientists find distasteful). It is important to point out that Darwin's theory was that of Natural Selection and The Origin of Species, and he was not proposing any system separate from or one that discredited classical Creationist theory. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, however, coined the phrase Evolution.

How was lamarks theory of evolution different than Darwin's theory?
Lamarck's theory of evolution proposed that traits acquired during the lifetime of the parent were genetically passed on to children. Some animal might, according to Lamarck's theory, learn a novel way of obtaining food, and then its children would be born with this novel mechanism already in place. Darwin, contrarily, proposed that lineages evolved new traits though natural selection: by the elimination of lineages that do *not* possess a certain trait.
What is the reason that a theory might be replaced with a new theory?
a theory is an explanation to a specific question being studied. it has been tested many times. it might be replaced with a new theory because new information come and so the past information will be improved.
Can Lamarck's theory of evolution be true?
Lamarck's theory cannot be true since characteristics of an organism are determined by its DNA and also over time how this is expressed through the epigenetic code. This theory is wrong.
The difference between theory and fact?
A theory is an explanation based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning that can be used to make predictions. It is not proven to be true but can be supported with evidence. A fact, on the other hand, is a statement that can be proven to be true through direct evidence or observation.

How strong do you think the explanation is how might it be improved?
I thin
Can a theory be true or false?
Yes. If you have a theory about how things work, it might turn out to be true or it might turn out to be false. The more you know about the subject, the stronger the theory is likely to be, and the likelier it is that the theory will be proven.
What is the difference between theories and approaches?
theory is a prediction or an idea about a certain situation but approch is an practical way of dealing with that situation.or the way we might do a theory

Why do you think people didnt believ his continental drift theory when wagener first explained it?
because he had no proof to show how the continents moved he only had bits of evidence that the continents might of been together one time but no explanation of how they moved
