Match List I with List II List I List II (A). Lamark (I). Mutation theory (B). Darwin (II). Natural selection theory (C). Hugo de Vries (III). Inheritance of acquired characters (D). Weismann (IV). Germplasm theory Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
- B(A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
- C(A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
- D(A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
Correct answer
A. (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
Step-by-step solution
Lamarck proposed the theory of inheritance of acquired characters. Darwin proposed the theory of natural selection. Hugo de Vries proposed the mutation theory of evolution. Weismann proposed the germplasm theory, which states that heritable information is transmitted only by germ cells in the gonads, not by somatic cells. Thus, the correct matching is (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV). Answer: (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
