must be deliberately learned. Practicing helps people to improve. How well
one learns sometimes depends on how one does it and how often and how hard
one tries to learn.

Life Science: Life cycles of organisms Grades K-4, page 129 Many characteristics of an organism are inherited from the parents of the organism, but other characteristics result from an individual's interactions with the environment. Inherited characteristics include the color of flowers and the number of limbs of an animal. Other features, such as the ability to ride a bicycle are learned through interactions with the environment and cannot be passed on to the next generation. |
