Answers are given below :
Inherited traits are the traits which are naturally transferred from parents to children.
Example - dimple, eye colour.
Acquired traits are the traits which are learned by individuals in their lifetime. Example - playing guitar, learning to cycle.
Learning of acquired traits requires efforts while inherited traits do not require so.
Acquired traits can not be transferred to offsprings because they are learned by individuals and can not cause change in human genome.
Inherited traits basically are transferred to offsprings through genetic codes. Thus, acquired traits can not be transferred to the next generation.
