Hint:
An acquired trait is the character developed in an individual as a result of environmental influence.
The correct answer is: Weight
- An acquired trait is the character developed in an individual as a result of environmental influence. These traits are not coded by the DNA of a living organism and therefore cannot be passed on to future generations.
- Example- acquired skills like swimming, knowledge, cycling etc.
- Traits like low body weight, learning a foreign language, etc. do not change the genes of the germ cells. These are acquired traits. They are not inherited by the progeny.
- So Weight is the answer.
