Lamarckian evolutional thinking could be attracive at the cell level that you describe. If there could be determined that the mitochondria produce some substance that is passed on to the next generation and also that that generation pases it also to their generation as F2, then that could interest me. However, I have not read of any experiments that had that happen.
In other words, if a person lifts weights and develops a large muscular system, would F1 also have an inherited well-devloped musular system? Perhaps by some stimulation of the mitochondria? Sounds interesting but what about Gregor Mendel?
