Detailed explanation-1: -Acquired traits include things such as calluses on fingers, larger muscle size from exercise or from avoiding predators. Behaviors that help an organism survive would also be considered acquired characteristics most of the time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of acquired characters are the ability to speak a language, riding a bike, swimming, etc. On the other hand, inherited characters are those that are present since birth. They are inherited from parents to offsprings such as eye colour, hair colour, genetic disorders etc.
