Inherited Traits Versus Learned Behaviors Explained

The video tutorial by Mrs. Bright covers the differences between inherited traits and learned behaviors. Inherited traits are characteristics passed down from parents through genes, such as eye color and instinctive behaviors like hibernation. Learned behaviors are acquired through interaction with the environment, such as language and sports skills. The video includes examples, a discussion on the combination of traits, and an interactive quiz to test understanding.
