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.

one tries to learn.
