Directions: Read the paragraph and answer the questions.

Our bodies know what traits we have. We are born with our traits.  Animals and plants are also born with their traits. Traits tell how a thing looks.  Traits are also the qualities that exist in DNA.  There are physical traits such as eye color and the shape of teeth, and there are instincts, such as the urge to hunt or mate.  Among these traits are traits for survival.  These are the qualities that help a species live and thrive.  Many of them are adaptations.  They help species adapt to fit their environment.  Survival is key in the animal world.  No one can predict exactly what the future will be like, so, the most successful species might be the most flexible (flek-suh-bl).  People and animals have unique (yoo-NEEK) traits that make them who they are and different from anyone else.

We are born with our _________?
