What are the major differences between Lamarcks

and Darwins evolutionary theories?

Natural Selection compared to Evolution of inheritance
of acquired characteristics. Lamarck's use of example
'Why do giraffes have long?' Lamarck's Evolution of
inheritance of acquired characteristics explains that
giraffes with short neck has to keep straining to reach
the foliage and over generation all the giraffes necks' got
longer. Darwin's Natural Selection theory explains that
the giraffes with shorter neck would eventually die due
to the reason that they can't reach the higher part of the
foliage therefore over generations the giraffes with the
genetics of the long neck will live on.
What is stabilizing selection?
Stabilize selection eliminates the traits of the organisms
that live in the extreme ranges. For example, there
would be off the less tall and short population but more
'average'. Making the organisms more alike.
What is a genetic bottleneck, and how has one of
these affected cheetahs?One of the notable flavour of
the Genetic Effect. When a major event eliminates the
majority off the variations in a population, only the
remains of the population reproduces therefore the
population is genetically simplified.
10,000 years ago, Cheetahs almost got wiped out but
they just slipped through. All individuals come from
around 7 survivors. This is because of the genetic effect
the genetic bottle neck. After surviving the wipe out, the
remains of the cheetah population started to reproduce
therefore the population was genetically simplified which

mean the low genetic diversity made it simpler for the

cheetah population to adapt.
Name an influential book carried by Darwin on his
Beagle trip, and name its author.
Lyell's 1830, Principle of Geology' given to Darwin by
Fitzroy.
Describe an example of 'directional selection'.
An example of 'directional selection' was around 150200 years ago on Peppered Moths. During pre-industrial
Europe there were both pale and dark Peppered Moths
around, however the most most common was the pale
due to the fact that there were able to hide from their
predators such as birds on the clean barks as their pale
colour were able to blend in on the barks. After post
industrial the tree surface darkened as the pollution
caused dirt and smoke to stick against the bark
therefore the pale moths started to loose their protection
shield as they stood out more on the barks. The
evolution of the Peppered Moth was then driven to the
population to the darker variety due to change of the
environment around them.
