Detailed explanation-1: -Innate behavior is behavior that’s genetically hardwired in an organism and can be performed in response to a cue without prior experience. Reflex actions, such as the knee-jerk reflex tested by doctors and the sucking reflex of human infants, are very simple innate behaviors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Instinct, imprinting, conditioning, and imitation are the four types of animal behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -Just about all human behaviors are learned. Learned behavior is behavior that occurs only after experience or practice. Learned behavior has an advantage over innate behavior: it is more flexible. Learned behavior can be changed if conditions change.

Detailed explanation-4: -Behaviors that are closely controlled by genes with little or no environmental influence are called innate behaviors. These are behaviors that occur naturally in all members of a species whenever they are exposed to a certain stimulus. Innate behaviors do not have to be learned or practiced.
