A race car driver loses his leg in an accident. Apply Lamarck's and Darwin's theories of evolution to predict whether this disability will be carried forward by his children. In both Lamarck's and Darwin's theories of evolution, the physical disability will be carried forward to the children. In Lamarck's theory, physical injuries will be carried forward to the children. In Darwin's theory, all children will be normal since the disability is not hereditary. In Lamarck's theory, all the racer's children will be normal since the disability is not hereditary, and in Darwin's theory, physical injuries will be carried forward to the children.

No the driver's kids will not be affected by the accident of the man losing his leg. Now if the man was born without a leg than maybe but again you can not be sure because deformity can be caused by many things like drugs or it can be hereditary. The hereditary would be like having twins. Like your grandfather could of been a twin or could have been born without a leg and than your dad wouldn't be a twin or he would have both of his legs. Then when your dad had you you could be a twin or you could be missing a leg. Do you see where I'm going with this? And also it could just be a coincident that he was born without a leg or that he was a twin.
