what are acquired traits
Answers
.An acquired trait is the character developed in an individual as a result of environmental influence. These traits are not códed by the DNA of a living organism and therefore cannot be passed on to future generations.
Answer:
An acquired characteristic is a non-heritable change in a function or structure of a living organism caused after birth by disease, injury, accident, deliberate modification, variation, repeated use, disuse, misuse, or other environmental influence. Acquired traits are synonymous with acquired characteristics. They are not passed on to offspring through reproduction.
The changes that constitute acquired characteristics can have many manifestations and degrees of visibility, but they all have one thing in common. They change a facet of a living organism's function or structure after birth.
