1.
2. Traits are defined as any
observable feature of an
organism .
They may ACQUIRED or INHERITED.
3. An acquired characteristic is a
non-heritable change in function of
living biotic material caused after
birth by disease, injury etc.
4. Tanning of skin , it doesn’t causes any
change in the germ cell of DNA and hence
Is not passed onto next generation.
5. O Inherited traits are those which are
inherited from parents. These usually
include physical traits, including eye color,
height, skin tone, hair color, and
susceptibility to certain diseases like

level of tan
7. *Earlobe:-
In some people, the ends of the earlobes are attached to the skin on
the neck while others have detached earlobes.

that offspring will have dimples if they receive dominant alleles from both
parents or inherit a dominant allele from either parent.
