1.	With the help of two suitable examples, explain why certain experiences and traits earned by people during their lifetime are not passed on to their next generations. When can such traits be passed on ?
Answer» Learning skills like swimming, dancing and low weight of beetle due to starvation earned by people during their lifetime are not passed on to their next generation. If a person knows swimming or dancing, it is not necessary that this trait ii seen in the progeny because learning a new skill does not change the genes of the germ cells of humans. Also, low weight in a beetle is not a trait that can be inherited by the progeny of a starving beetle. These traits/experiences occur in the somatic cells which do not involve germ cells and genetic materials. Therefore, these traits are not passed on to their next generation.
