Which is an example of an acquired trait?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Strong muscles due to exercise
An acquired trait develops during an organism’s lifetime because of activity, practice, environment, or experience rather than being directly inherited through reproductive genes. Regular exercise can enlarge and strengthen muscles, so this is the correct example. Natural eye colour, blood group, and inherited height potential are associated mainly with genetic information received from parents, not with exercise or later experience.
