Primitive (phylogenetics)

An point of importance that must be brought up is the fact that derived characteristics or traits are passed along in the germ cells not in the somatic cells. A characteristic such as loss of the use of an eye because the environment is dark, and does not pass along to the offspring invokes a Lamarckian mechanism, which is erroneous.Biologicalamphibian (talk) 02:30, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
