How does the inheritance of acquired characteristics occur?
They are not inherited. If you cut off the tip of your finger, your children will not inherit it. That is what acquired means.
Are acquired characteristics evidence of evolution?
No, unless the mechanisms by which these traits are acquired are inherited, subject to variation, and found in patterns of nested hierarchies.
Who is the scientist that proved that acquired characteristics are not inherited?
August Weismann is the scientist who provided experimental evidence to disprove the idea of acquired characteristics being inherited. His experiments on the cutting off of the tails of mice showed that these acquired traits were not passed on to offspring. This work helped shape the understanding of genetics and the inheritance of traits.
Which idea did lamarck propose that was rejected by his fellow sicentits?
Lamarck proposed the idea of inheritance of acquired characteristics, suggesting that traits acquired during an organism's lifetime could be passed on to its offspring. For example, he believed that if an organism developed a characteristic through use or disuse, such as a giraffe stretching its neck to reach higher leaves, that trait would be inherited by its offspring. This concept was largely rejected by fellow scientists, as it contradicted the emerging understanding of genetics and natural selection, particularly as formulated by Darwin. Instead, it was established that genetic traits are inherited through genes, not through acquired characteristics.

What is the opposite of iherited trait?
The opposite of an inherited trait is an acquired trait. Inherited traits are passed down genetically from parents to offspring, such as eye color or height, while acquired traits result from environmental influences or experiences, such as learning a skill or gaining muscle through exercise. Unlike inherited traits, acquired traits are not passed on to future generations.
Are acquired characteristics evidence of evolution?
No, unless the mechanisms by which these traits are acquired are inherited, subject to variation, and found in patterns of nested hierarchies.
Why are only inherited traits not acquired one necessary for the process of natural selection?
Because the offspring of an organism with a desirable inherited trait is more likely to survive than the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait (because the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait will not have its parent's desirable trait).
A trait that is not inherited is called what?
other inherited traits are behavioral and are called what
