The answer is they can be passed on to offspring.

In his theory, Lamarck proposed how species adapted to the changed environment by passing down acquired physical traits to the next generation. But, after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, Lamarck's theory was rejected. Now, it is known that acquired physical traits could not be inherited and epigenetics is a good proof for that.

Which individual are favored in natural selection?

Hello! :)

It would take forever listing all the animals that have adaptations that helps them survive in their environment.

Natural selection is the process by which individuals with characteristics that are advantageous for reproduction in a specific environment leave more offspring in the next generation, thereby increasing the proportion of their genes in the population gene pool over time.

Hope this helped and I hope I answered in time!

Good luck!

I think I understand even without the picture. I'll add a picture of the Punnett Square filled in, but what you're crossing is

Tt x tt (heterozygous crossed with a homozygous recessive)

The ratio you get in the end is 2 heterozygous (Tt) and 2 homozygous (tt) offspring, so the ratio is 1:1.

So the percentage of offspring that are homozygous recessive is 50%.
