The implication of inheritance of developed characteristics postulates that traits developed through one’s lifetime can be conveyed to offspring. It established from pangenesis in which postulates that data from all parts of one's body is conveyed to the next generation. Therefore, conferring to the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, the development of large bicep muscles over exercise would yield children with large biceps.
