He said that an organism passes on to its offspring the traits it acquires during its lifetime in response to the environment. For instance, Lamarck's theory explains why giraffes have long necks. It is because their shorter-necked ancestors spent their lives stretching to reach food. Which study would best test whether Lamarck's theory is valid?
