Lamarck would explain the tiny useless wings of the kiwi bird as the product of
- A. natural selection
- B. disuse of wings over many generations
- C. genetic engineering
- D. mutation only
Explanation
In Lamarck's scheme, ground living birds stopped flying, their wings weakened from disuse and the reduction was passed on. Today we explain the kiwi's wings through selection, but the question tests the Lamarckian logic itself.
