What to Focus On

  • Evolution is slow and gradual.
  • Unicellular organisms appeared before multicellular organisms.
  • More complex forms evolved from simpler forms.

  • Lamarck proposed the first theory explaining evolution.
  • Lamarckism is also called the Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characters.
  • Use and disuse of organs was central to this theory.

  • Vestigial organs are reduced and non-functional now.
  • Vermiform appendix, wisdom tooth, muscles of ear pinna, and coccyx are vestigial organs.
  • Appendix is linked with the old herbivorous diet of ancestors.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Acquired characters are inherited by offspring.

Lamarck and Darwin explained evolution in the same way.

Survival of the fittest means the strongest organisms always survive.
