Meanings of lamarckian inheritance in English

The latter involve Lamarckian inheritance, which of late years has been the centre of so much controversy.

In Darwin's pangenesis, gemmules move from somatic to germ cells and provide a mechanism for Lamarckian inheritance.

But this doesn't mean that Lamarckian inheritance is incompatible with Darwinian evolution, only that it is unnecessary.

He abandoned Darwin's key notion of the migration of gemmules across cell boundaries-thusremoving the rationale for Lamarckian inheritance.

Adaptation may play an important role, but the Lamarckian inheritance of acquired characters trumps Darwinian factors in this realm of functional influence.

Darwin's hypothesis of pangenesis served as a speculation that could validate Lamarckian inheritance, a mode of transmission that Darwin deem-phasized but did not contest.
