Question

jadens father is not sensitive to poison ivy. jaden is also not sensitive to poison ivy. jadens lack of sensitivity to poison ivy is which kind of trait?
○ environmental
○ acquired
○ learned
○ inherited

Explanation:

To determine the type of trait, we analyze each option:

• Environmental traits are influenced by surroundings, not relevant here as it's about a similarity with the father.
• Acquired traits are gained during an organism's life, not related to inheriting from a parent.
• Learned traits are acquired through experience/education, which doesn't apply to sensitivity to poison ivy.
• Inherited traits are passed from parents to offspring. Since Jaden and his father both have the same lack of sensitivity, this trait is inherited.

Answer:

D. inherited
