The process that Darwin described as "descent with modification" is the process of evolution.

"Descent with modification" is one of the fundamental ideas behind Darwin's theory of evolution. According to Darwin, the characteristics of an organism are inherited. Offspring with inherited characteristics which allows them to compete best with the limited resources in the environment will survive. Organisms will pass the traits providing an advantage to survive and reproduce to the next generations. Over time and generations, the traits providing reproductive advantage will become common among the polpulation. This will lead to change in populations over generations in a process called the "descent with modification".

The barnacles are only able to attach them selfs to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.

By using a genetic diagram or a punnett square, we can show the the result of a cross between RR and rr.
The result of the genotypes should all be Rr.
This means all their offsprings should have the dominant trait being expressed.
Therefore, the percentage to this should be 100%.
The picture above is an example of using a punnett square finding the possible genotypes of the offsprings.
