Answer:

An innate behavior occurs naturally as a result of inborn automatic processes. An innate behavior is something that requires no experience to perform but can be improved in efficiency or skill through practice. A learned behavior is something that a subject has learned as a result of one's own experience.

Hello!

In biology, there are two main categories of behaviors. Those behaviors are innate and learned behavior.

Innate behaviors are developmentally fixed, and under strong genetic influence. It's basically anything you have when you are born.

Learned behaviors are the modification of behavior based on experiences. Some examples are imprinting, cognition, and problem solving.
