Inherited Traits	Acquired Traits
Changes or characters in the reproductive tissues only can be passed on to the DNA of the germ cells/next generation.	Changes in non-reproductive tissues cannot be passed on to the DNA of the germ cells/next generation.
Example: Tails of mice/skin colour.	Example: Life time experiences/ tanning of skin when exposed to sun.

Reason: Change in non-reproductive tissues cannot be passed on to the DNA of the germ cells.
