Solution

(c) : Theory of continuity of germplasm was put forward by August Weismann. According to this, the characters influencing the germ cells are only inherited. There is a continuity of germ plasm but the somataplasm is not transmitted to the next generation hence it doesn’t carry characters to next generation.
