Lamarck is remembered for his theory of inheritance which hypothesized that physical characteristics acquired during an individuals lifetime were passed onto their offspring.How does this differ from epigenetic inheritance where the diet of the mother affects coat color of the offspring?
A) There is no difference between Lamarckian theories of inheritance and epigenetic inheritance.
B) These epigenetic changes affect a specific allele. If the allele is not present, then coat color will not be affected by diet.
C) The change in coat color occurs in the offspring and not in the mother.
