the difference between inherited traits and acquired traits is that you are born with inherited traits. Acquired traits are traits that you learn later in life. An example of a inherited trait would be your eye color, your hair color and your skin color. An example of a acquired trait would be swimming ,fighting,and playing baseball.

An inherited trait is something that you are born with that is passed on from a family member. Examples include: if your mom has brown eyes and you have brown eyes or if your grandma has red hair and you have red hair. Sometimes you can't actually see an inherited trait like maybe you have good vision just like your dad. Acquired traits are something that is learned like reading, walking or writing.

Inherited traits are traits you are born with. They are passed down from your parents or family members. Examples: if your mom and dad have brown hair you probably will too; if a parent has a certain eye color you will have the same color; if someone in your family has dimples, you might too (like me!).

Inherited traits are trait you are born with. They are passed down from your parents and other family members. Examples are. Hair color, eye color, skin color, body shape, height and and missing teeth. My dad had two adult teeth missing and I inherited the same trait. Now I will have to get those same teeth replaced when I get older.

An acquired trait is a change in a physical characteristic that is not inheritable. The change is caused by the environment not by genetics. Examples of acquired traits are a body builder's muscles, biking, and baseball.

Inherited traits are things you get from your parents or family from DNA. Examples of inherited traits are tongue-rolling, hair color and eye color. Acquired traits are things that you learn as you get older. Examples of acquired traits are riding a bike, walking and snowboarding.

An inherited trait is when you're born with, such as hair color, eye color and freckles. An acquired trait is a learned trait, such as training my animals, showing my animals and caring for my animals.

Acquired traits can not be lassed down by your parents or anyone else. Acqired traits include things like calluses on fingers. Or large musclesize from exercisin or even if you can ride a bike. Inherited traits come from your parents or ancesters. Inherited traits are like, your eye color. Or how long your eyelashs are and even theshape of your nose.

Inherited traits are things you were born with like your eye color, hair color, or even skin color. Inherited traits are passed down from your mother and father to you. This is the reason why many children look like their parents. Acquired traits are traits that were taught to you. This is the reason your parents have to teach you how to swim, ride a bike, or even how to fight. Your are not born knowing how to do this and that is why your parents teach you.😃
