Question

Toxoplasmosis (a parasitic disease) can be transmitted from cat feces to humans when they clean the litter box. If a woman has an active toxoplasmosis infection early in her pregnancy her offspring may also become infected. The infection in the offspring can damage the developing eye and brain among other things. Is this a good example of inheritance of an acquired trait? A. Yes, the infection passed from mother to offspring which lead to the traits in the offspring. B. No, the infection affected specific aspects of development but not the genes in the offspring. C.
