Grade 5 Biology Quiz: Inherited Traits vs Environmental Effects Traits

What are physical traits inherited from parents? Provide two examples.

• Nose shape and shoe size

• Freckles and height

• Voice pitch and birthmark location

• Eye color and hair texture

Explain how physical traits are passed down from parents to their offspring.

• Magic

• Luck

• Genes

• Weather

How can the environment influence behavioral traits? Provide two examples.

• Favorite color and music preference

• Exposure to different cultures and social environments, and access to education and resources.

• Eating habits and exercise routines

• Weather and time of day

Discuss the impact of upbringing on environmental traits with two examples.

• The impact of upbringing on environmental traits can be seen in the development of musical talent and artistic skills.

• The impact of upbringing on environmental traits can be seen in the development of height and eye color.

• The impact of upbringing on environmental traits can be seen in the development of athletic ability and mathematical skills.

• The impact of upbringing on environmental traits can be seen in the development of language skills and dietary preferences.

What are genetic factors that play a role in inherited traits? Explain with two examples.

• Hair color and shoe size

• Skin color and musical talent

• Height and favorite food

• Eye color and blood type are examples of inherited traits influenced by genetic factors.

Describe the role of genetics in determining inherited traits.

• Inherited traits are determined by the weather

• Inherited traits are determined by education level

• Genetics determine inherited traits.

• Inherited traits are determined by diet and exercise

Give two examples of inherited traits and explain how they are passed down from parents.

• Eye shape - determined by the environment

• Skin color - determined by the weather

• Height - determined by the food you eat

• 1. Eye color - determined by genes from both parents. 2. Hair texture - determined by genes from both parents.

How do examples of inherited traits demonstrate the influence of genetics on offspring?

• Inherited traits are passed down from parents to offspring through genetics.

• Inherited traits are determined by the offspring's own choices and not by genetics.

• Inherited traits are acquired from the environment and have nothing to do with genetics.

• Inherited traits are randomly assigned to offspring and do not follow any genetic pattern.
