Why do mice whose tails were surgically removed just after birth for generations, continue to produce mice with tails ?

Acquired traits are structural,functional and behavioral changes that an individual develops during its life time. due to particular environment trauma use and disuse etc.Th e removal of tail is not passed on to DNA of germ cells.They remain restricted to somatic cells. They are destroyed with the death of the mice.
