"An individual cannot pass on its progeny the experiencesame of its lifetime"Justify the statemen
Answers
Answer:
An individual cannot pass the experience or we can say the characteristics or skills which he has acquired during his lifetime.
Explanation:
This is because these characteristics have not been inherited by that individual through his genes but have rather developed in him in the course of time. And therefore as we know that only the chromosomal data is transferred down the hierarchy, so these experiences or characteristics are not passed into the progeny.

Experiences of an individual during its life time are in the somatic cells of the body. That is, in non-reproductive tissues that cannot be passed to the next generation. Thus, they cannot contribute directly in evolution.
For inheritance of traits over generations and involvement in direct evolution, they must be passed to the DNA of the germ cells (reproductive tissues). The characteristics of DNA are passed to the progeny and also can play direct role in evolution.
