Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inherited traits, such as your eye color, are a part of your genetics and DNA from birth. They are passed down from parent to offspring, and therefore cannot be changed. Learned Behaviors are developed after birth and can be affected or changed. For example: Playing the violin is a learned behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to inherited physical traits such as eye color and height, you also have learned characteristics such as the language you speak or your personality. You aren’t born knowing how to ride a bicycle or tie your shoes. These skills must be taught.

Detailed explanation-3: -An inherited trait is a characteristic that is passed from parents to their babies (offspring). A behavior is a way of acting. Inherited behaviors are called instincts. Learned behaviors are not inherited but learned from others.
