Answer:

These characteristics are ascribed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Sociology, ascribed is a term understood as a position an individual is born into, and he/she has no control over. It is "assigned" to the individual.

In this case, Jane is a woman of Irish-German descent, meaning she was ascribed to these characteristics, as much as being 49 years old.
