Detailed explanation-1: -Learned behavior comes from watching other animals and from life experiences. By watching their mother, baby ducks learn how to avoid danger and to know what is good to eat. This is an example of learned behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Imprinting is a specialized form of learning that occurs during a brief period in young animals-e.g., ducks imprinting on their mother. In classical conditioning, a new stimulus is associated with a pre-existing response through repeated pairing of new and previously known stimuli.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Imprinting is both innate and learned. Imprinting itself is the behavior of a newborn organism to identify and follow another organism or object that appears to be alive, treating it as it would a mother animal.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
