37
Q

This theory states that as an organism adapts to its environment, modifications to the organism will arise.

A

Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics

38
Q

This theory proposes that units of inheritance are passed from parents to offsprings.

  1. Genetic Counseling

For ex. Counseling for patients, Pedigree Analysis, Eugenic

  1. Legal Application

For ex. solved problems of disputed parentage, settling child support, estate claims or baby mix up. Fingerprint
