Lamarck is remembered for his theory of inheritance which hypothesized that physical
characteristics acquired during an individuals lifetime were passed onto their offspring (long
neck in giraffes). How does this differ from epigenetic inheritance where the diet of the
agouti/diabetic mother affects coat color and body size of the offspring (born brown and
slim)?
O The change in coat color occurs in the offspring and not in the mother
O Diet has no impact on fur color, but it can effect body size
O There is no difference between Lamarckian theories of inhertiance and epigenetic inheritance
O Many genes are involved in determining fur color and body size, making it unlikely that DNA
methylation can cause a persistent change in fur color and body size
