Gerald Mejia · Answer 1

Answer: It is because the organ change is acquired and not inherited

Explanation:

Genetics explains that only traits inherited from parents can also be passed down to offspring since they are carried in the genes. Hence, other traits acquired as a result of organisms trying to survive in an environment are acquired traits, and cannot be passed down to offspring.
