Answer:

Acclimatization is passed on to offspring of acclimated individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acclimatization is a process that occurs with animals when it is necessary for them to adapt and adjust to any climate or temperature change that has occurred in their natural habitat. These changes may be small and insignificant or part of a life cycle of animals. An example of this is the change of coat of some animals during the change of seasons.

Acclimatization is not passed on to the descendants of acclimatized individuals, but allows animals to compensate for changes in their environment, improves function in a new environment, and occurs when an animal attempts to reestablish a homeostatic set point.
