Natural selection acts on which type of characteristics?

1. Natural selection only changes a population if the favoured features pass to the next generation. 2. Inherited characteristics are carried in the genes, so they can be passed on. 3. Acquired characteristics develop during an organism's life in response to its behaviour and environment, and are not inherited. 4. Survived characteristics increase an organism's survival but are likewise not themselves inherited. 5. Dominant and recessive describe how a gene behaves against another, not which characteristics selection can act on. _Source: NECTA CSEE 2022 Biology 033, Question 1: Multiple Choice Items, item (vi)_
