Distinguish between inherited traits and acquired traits giving one example of each.

(c) size of body

Acquired Traits Inherited Traits (i) Does not bring about change in the DNA of the germ cell. (ii) Cannot be passed on to the progeny. (iii) Cannot direct evolution. Examples: Acquiring knowledge, loss of weight,...

Yes, it is possible that a trait is inherited but may not be expressed. For example, when pure tall pea plants are crossed with pure dwarf pea plants, only tall pea...

Acquired Traits Inherited Traits 1 2 3 4 These are traits acquired during one's lifetime. These are not inheritable. Not present in the genetic make up. Change in DNA will not result in any change in such traits.   These are traits...

(a) When Mendel cross pollinated pure tall pea plants with pure dwarf pea plants, only tall plants were obtained in F1 generation. On self pollinating the F1 progeny, both tall and dwarf...

  S.No.                  Acquired Traits   Inherited Traits  1 Develop during one’s life time. Are inherited from the parents.  2 Do not bring about changes in the DNA of the germ cells. ...
