traits and behaviors\nphysical characteristics of an organism can be inherited or acquired. inherited traits are passed from parents to their offspring through genes. a persons eye color, a dogs fur pattern, and the shape of a plants leaves are inherited traits. acquired traits are not inherited. they are characteristics a living thing gets during its lifetime. a scar from a cut is acquired. sunburn changing the color of someones skin is an acquired trait.\nwhich of the following describes an acquired trait?\na. an ant has six legs.\nb. a rose has red petals.\nc. a boy dyed his hair blue.\nd. a dog has brown fur.\nlandforms\na canyon is a landform with steep sides. it forms when a river breaks down rocks and moves sediments over many years. a student wants to create a model of how a canyon forms. which model best shows how a canyon forms?\na. water faucet damp sand\nb. fan sand\nc. ice damp sand\nd. gravel

Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. For the traits - question: Inherited traits are passed through genes, while acquired traits are gained during an organism's lifetime. Dyeing hair is an action done during a person's lifetime and is not genetic. Options A, B, and D are all genetic (inherited) traits.
  2. For the land - forms question: A canyon forms when a river breaks down rocks and moves sediments over time. A water faucet pouring water onto damp sand can mimic the action of a river eroding the land, which is similar to how a canyon forms. Option B shows wind - erosion (by a fan), option C shows ice - related processes, and option D shows a collection of gravel which is not related to canyon - formation.

Answer:

  1. C. A boy dyed his hair blue.
  2. A. water faucet and damp sand model
