1. Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates.
2. Give live birth
3. Females nurse their young with milk
4. Have skin, hair or fur.
5. Must breathe air using lungs and a respiratory system.
It must be noted that not all mammals give live birth. There is one sub-group of mammals known as monotremes. Monotremes are egg-laying mammals, which still fulfil all the other criteria listed above.

What is acquired traits?
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.

Acquired Traits/Characteristics
Does inheritance of acquired characteristics express the concept of natural selection?
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.
Why are required traits not directly related to the process of evolution?
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.
Why is lamarck's theory not supported by the theory of natural selection?
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
