The low weight is an acquired trait this will not passed to the next generation of the elephant.

Explanation:

  • The low weight is an acquired trait which has resulted due to lack of availability of food which is an environmental factor.
  • The environmental factors can also influence the expression of traits being inherited from the parents.
  • The low weight trait will not be passed on to next generation as it cannot cause change in the DNA of the germ cells. Thus the trait will not be passed to the next generation of elephant.
