An inherited trait is one that is genetically determined

An acquired characteristic is a non-heritable change in a function or structure of a living organism caused after birth by disease, injury, accident, deliberate modification

the basic physical and functional unit of heredity

any change of the DNA of a gene or a chromosome

Variation of a gene (i.e. blue eyes, brown eye, green eyes)

An acquired characteristic is a non-heritable change in a function or structure of a living organism

 DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms
