such traits which are acquired from surrounding to adapt to ones environment are called acquired traits these do not bring about a change in the genes and so not affect germ cell of an individual. thus , they are not expressed in next generation.

Answer 2

A trait may be inherited but may not be expressed. This can be explained by the following eg-.
In Mendel's experiment with pea plants , he crossed pure bred of tall plants with dwarf and he found that the F1 generation was all of tall plants. But when he crossed F1 generation , he found that there were both tall and dwarf plants formed in the F2 generation in the ratio of 3:1.
Conclusion- This proves that whether the trait may not be expressed but it is carried on to the next generation.
