Which of the following evidences does not favour the lamarckian concept of inheritance of acquired characters?

Options

A. Lack of pigment in cave-dwelling animals
B. Melanisation in peppered moth
C. Absence of limbs in snakes
D. Presence of webbed toes in aquatic birds

Answer

B

Explanation

According to Lamarckism (proposed by Lamrack). Whatever characters an individual acquires in its life time due to internal vital force, effect of environment, new needs, use and disuse of organs, they are inherited to next generations. This process continues and after several generations, the variations are accumulated upto such an extent that they give rise to new species. Melanisation in peppered moth favours Darwin's theory of natural selection.
