Question 3
F

A species of mole lives underground and has very small eyes. Lamarck suggested that the eyes of the moles became smaller because the eyes were used less in each generation. Which statement explains why scientists reject Lamarck's suggestion?

[1]
A

Moles with smaller eyes would not have survived for long enough to breed

B

The environment underground does not change from one generation to the next

C

Using a body part less often would make it larger rather than make it smaller

D

Changes to a body part during life do not change the genes that are passed on
