Which concept/theory do you remember after seeing this picture of Giraffes? Describe it in brief.
Answer»
The picture is based on the Lamarck’s principle of ‘use and disuse of organs’.
The morphological characters of organism develop because of specific activities that the organisms perform.
If some organ is not used it gets degenerated. If excessively used, it develops further.
Thus, the morphological changes take place due to activities or non-working of a particular body parts in an organism. Due to constant extension of neck to eat foliage from the top of the trees, giraffe’s neck became long.
