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.
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.
Stated that inheritance of acquired traits caused change in a species over time?
Lamarck thought acquired traits were past on, but he was prover wrong by Darwin and his natural selection idea.
