If I'm not mistaken the Law of Use and Disuse was disproved by August Weisman (scientist) several years after the death of Darwin (late 1800's). Weisman thought that if the law of use and disuse was true, he could prove it by cutting off the tails of mice for 20 generations in a row. No matter how many mice he cut the tail off of, the babies were born with a tail. His experiment proved that the law of use and disuse was false.

What is the explanation for the law of use and disuse?

The law of use and disuse, proposed by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, suggests that organs in an organism's body will develop with increased use and deteriorate with disuse. This theory has been largely discredited in evolutionary biology, as traits are now understood to be inherited through genetic information rather than acquired through individual actions during an organism's lifetime.
