Answer 1

Fingernail length is the trait that is acquired (i.e., not inherited). While genetic factors can influence the potential growth of fingernails, the actual length can be affected by environmental factors, health, and grooming habits. The other traits listed—eye shape, skin tone, and the number and presence of dimples—are primarily inherited.
