Not really. Lysenko's ideas sort of imply that you can "will" biological changes. A giraffe can "will" a longer neck in its offspring by stretching its neck to reach the top of the branch.

Evolution, genetics, and epigenetics are really more a process of luck and trial-and-error at the molecular level.
