Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Inherited and learned traits are different. Learned characteristics are things taught to an offspring by the parents. Hunting, creating tunnels, and caring for young are all behaviors that are taught through observation and repetition. These are things that need to be learned. Inherited traits are things that are genetic and with an animal from birth. Both of their parents pass these traits to them, and they become a mix of their parents. Hair color, eye color, fur patterns are all examples of inherited traits.
