Discussion
From the list given below, choose the acquired character :
Answer: C
The acquired character is size of body.
An acquired character develops during an individual's lifetime because of the environment, food, exercise or use and disuse, and is not passed on through genes. Body size depends heavily on nutrition and activity: an underfed child stays small, and body weight changes with diet and exercise.
Colour of the eye, colour of the skin and the nature of the hair are inherited characters, decided by genes received from the parents. A suntan can darken the skin for a while, but the basic skin colour is inherited, which is why it is not the answer here.
