It did not pass on because it was an acquired characteristic and not natural  

Explanation:

  • The cutting of the tail of the mice was the acquired trait and it did not transfer to the next mice
  • A trait can only pass to the next generation when chromosomes are involved  
  • chromosomes and DNA take part in the genetic transfer

When the tail of the mice is removed by surgery it does not change the gene which is involved in the production of tail in a mice.  

Explanation:

  • As a result, there is no change in the chromosomes. Hence when such mice whose tail are removed by surgery reproduces due to no change in the sex cells of the mice, the mice which is produced is not tailless.  
  • The removal of the tail of a mouse by surgery is an example of acquired trait. It cannot be inherited by the next generation.
