Concept:

• The first theory of evolution was proposed by Lamarck .
• Lamarckism or L amarckian inheritance is also known as 'Neo-Lamarckism'.

Important Points

• Lamarck says that an organism can pass on to its offspring physical characteristics that the parent organism acquired through use or disuse during its lifetime.
• This idea is also called the inheritance of acquired characteristics .
• Example in support of Lamarckism-
  • Long necks and high forelimb of Giraffe.
  • Snakes lost their legs.
  • Retractile claws of carnivorous animals.

Explanation:

• The theory was explained with the example of giraffe .
• It was stated the giraffe ancestors stretched their necks to reach out to the leaves on higher branches of a tree.
• This ones with longer neck were more successful in getting food and produced offspring with longer necks .
• This theory formed the early basis of biological evolution and also influenced Darwin's theory.
• It was rejected later in the mid-twentieth century because of lack of experimental proof .

Additional Information

• Mutation theory was proposed by Hugo-de-Vries.
• The theory of Natural Selection was proposed by Darwin and Wallace.

Androecium: The male reproductive unit. They consist of:

• Anther:sac-like structure that contains pollen.
• Filament:stalk that attaches anther to the base of the flower.

Gynoecium:the female reproductive unit.Also called carpel .Each carpel has 3 parts:

• Stigma:the knob-like tip that receives pollen.
• Style:long tubes-like structure that connects stigma and ovary.
• Ovary:contains ovules. Each ovule contains the embryo sac, which contains the female gamete.

After fertilisation:

• Calyx or sepals : wither away. Sometimes remnants of carpels can be found on fruits like chilli, tomato, and other members of the Solanaceae family.
• Corolla and androecium : wither away.
• Gynoecium: Stigma and style wither away. The ovary becomes a fruit and the ovules inside the ovary become seeds .

Hence, we conclude thatWhich part of a flower does not fall down even after fertilization is completed and remains visible in the fruits of some plants carpel.
