“We cannot pass on to our progeny the experiences and qualifications earned during our life time”. Justify the statement giving reason and examples.
Answer:
We acquire knowledge and skills in our lifetime such as learning dance, music, physical fitness, etc. But these skills cannot be passed to our progenies because:
- Such characters or experiences acquired during one’s lifetime do not bring any change in the DNA of the germ cell.
- Only germ cells are responsible for passing on the characters from the parents to the progeny.
