Solution
organisms are able to bring about a change in their phenotype
Explanation:
According to the theory of acquired inheritance, organisms can bring about changes in their phenotype during their lifetime due to use or disuse. These acquired changes are then inherited by their offspring. This theory states that changes in an organism caused by its environment or habits are passed to the next generation, although this has been disproved by modern genetics.
