Question

consider these two characteristics.
characteristic 1: a scar due to an injury
characteristic 2: the shape of a persons face
which characteristic is a trait that can be inherited?
explain your answer.

Explanation:

Inherited traits are determined by genes passed from parents to offspring. A scar due to an injury is an acquired characteristic (caused by an external event, not genes). The shape of a person's face is determined by genetic information (genes) that can be passed from parents to children.

Answer:

Characteristic 2 (the shape of a person's face) is a trait that can be inherited.
