<p><strong>Defects on Pangenesis</strong></p>
<p>1. Pangenesis can not explain Mendel's Cross expriments.</p>
<p> Gregor Mendel's study totally defeated Darwin's mechanism. Mendel proved that heredity has at least one certain discrete unit to express one trait. Unfortunately gemmule couldn't be that unit as it was continuous concept and did not have method to explain law of dominance, segregation and independent assortment..</p>
<p>2. Acquired traits are not inherited.</p>
<p> Lamarckism was very similar to Darwinism in that both were trying to explain that evolution occured within relatively short time. Both are not true because acquired traits are not inherited (but epigenome), which cannot affect phynotypes. </p>
<p>3. Pangenesis can not explain planting cutting (asexual propagation)</p>
