a trait of an organism caused by change in its been or DNA is called inheritance trade trade on the traits which we receive from our parents are inherited traits acquired trait of an organism is a trait which develops in response to environment. Acquired traits are due to changes in the life style, injury, loss of body parts, disuse of some body parts. These are the traits which occur in the somatic cells. Changes in the somatic cells are not passed on to the offspring belonging to next generation. Hence acquired traits cannot be passed on to next generation.
