Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Inherited traits are passed down to offspring from parents through their genes. Learned traits are taught to the offspring. Both inherited traits and learned traits come from parents. Learned characteristics came from the mother, and inherited traits come from the father.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genes come in pairs. Each person receives one copy of a gene pair from his mother and one from his father. Even though you get half of your genes from your mother and half from your father, each of your parents contributes to all your traits. For the each trait, there are different versions of a gene.
