What is an inherited characteristic?

A. A characteristic learned through watching the parents
B.A characteristic taught to the offspring by the parents
C. A trait passed from sibling to sibling
D. A trait passed on from parent to offspring

Answer 1

D. A trait passed on from parent to offspring

Inherited is where you gain characteristics from the parent like history of pain (diabetes, arthritis, etc.) or like personal traits (nose shape, eye color, etc.).

It can't be coming from siblings because that is absurd.

You can't inherit those personal traits by watching the parents (again, absurd)

The same thing goes to teaching a trait. This is a different type of inheriting characteristic, more like learning skills.

Answer 2

D) A trait passed on from parent to offspring

Explanation:

An inherited characteristic is not learned, but rather, inherited through the transmission of parental traits to their offspring. Learned traits, on the other hand, are learned from parents, and other external stimuli.
