Give reasons why acquired characters are not inherited.

उत्तर
Acquired characters are those characters that an organism gets during its lifetime. These characters do not bring any change in the DNA of germ cells so these characters are not inherited. Acquired traits are the changes that occur in non-reproductive tissues, thus they cannot be passed on to DNA of germ cells. Hence, these characters do not produce a change in the genes of germ cells, so they cannot be inherited.
Example : Swimming skills do not have any genetic changes in the individual who knows it. So it cannot pass from one generation to another as genetic code is the only way organisms pass information to the next generation.
