Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Behaviors that are passed from parent to offspring are called instincts. Many animals are born with instincts that help them survive.
Detailed explanation-2: -Behavior is anything an animal does involving action and/or a response to a stimulus. Blinking, eating, walking, flying, vocalizing and huddling are all examples of behaviors.
