What is the answer between acquired and inherited traits?
no, there are two types of behaviors: innate and learned. obviously, the innate behaviors are known from birth and the learned behaviors are acquired after birth. Learned behaviors can modify innate behaviors such as teaching a baby not to babble but to learn English. Simplified: something LEARNED cannot be passed down genetically UR A FAIL EAT CAKE
Are traits passed from offspring to parents?
yup! they are passed through deoxyribonucleic acid also known as DNA. DNA is passed down through reproduction.
What is the physical characteristics of an organism that is passed down?
double and single eyelid,having blood disorder The answer to this question is heredity which has to do with genetics.
What are heritable traits?
The word inherited means that it is passed down through the genes from parent to child.
How do you differentiate inherited characteristics from acquired or learned characteristics?
Acquired traits can not be passed on genetically. Acquired traits include things such as calluses on fingers, larger muscle size from exercise or from avoiding predators. Behaviors that help an organism survive would also be considered acquired characteristics most of the time. Inherited traits must come from a parent or other ancestor. A trait may seem to skip a generation or even two or three, but if a trait shows up it must have been present in an ancestor. Mutations are the exception to this rule. Inherited traits include things such as hair color, eye color, muscle stucture, bone structure, and even features like the shape of a nose. Inheritable traits are traits that get passed down from generation to the next generation.

What are the 2 types of traits?
The two types of traits are acquired traits, which are characteristics that are developed during an individual's lifetime, and inherited traits, which are passed down from parents through their genetic material.
What is true of adaptations?
They are passed along to offspring - APEX
What is it that is passed down from one generation to another?
Genes or traits
When is gene pool is considered stable?
when the traits are dominant and are passed down to the offspring.

What are some visible traits inherited by humans?
Characteristics passed down by parents to the offspring.
What must be of traits that are passed down through generations?
Traits that are passed down through the generations must be either culturally or environmentally inculcated or genetically inherited (or some combination of these). Evolutionary Biology concerns itself with genetically inherited traits. In the long term, for genetically inherited traits to continue to be passed down through the generations, they must be at least neutral with regard to reproductive fitness, or advantageous (i.e. they must not be subject to negative selection pressure)
