Acquired Traits/Characteristics
Acquired traits are those characteristics of an organism that develop during life as a result of injury, illness or other life process. For instance, lameness and stiffness in older animals are acquired traits often caused by arthritis. In contrast, a congenital trait is one that is present at birth, such as lameness due to a bone that did not develop properly.
No. Natural selection is the differential reproductive success of varying inherited traits. Acquired traits do little to affect the inheritance of traits, except through epigenetics.
Acquired traits. Because evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms and acquired traits, such as muscles built by working out, can not be inherited genetically ( by alleles ) so are not " hard " inheritance. Some things like methylation of genes are passed epigenetically, but this does not quite qualify as acquired traits.
Lamarck thought that traits organisms acquired during their lifetime would be passed on to offspring. He believed that traits were determined by use or disuse. However, acquired traits cannot be passed on to offspring; only traits determined by DNA can
