Eye color is inherited.
Of the following traits, eye color is inherited.
Of the traits you mentioned, eye color is the only one that is inherited. To understand why, we need to consider the difference between inherited traits and learned behaviors.
Eye color is determined by our genes, specifically the combination of alleles we inherit from our parents. These alleles determine the amount and type of pigments (such as melanin) in our eyes, which ultimately determines our eye color. Therefore, we can say that eye color is inherited, as it is a physical characteristic that is passed down from previous generations.
On the other hand, reading, writing, and riding a bike are all learned behaviors or skills. These are not determined by our genes, but rather acquired through education, practice, and experience. While some people may have a natural inclination or talent for these skills, they are not directly passed down through genetic inheritance.
So, to summarize, eye color is an inherited trait, whereas reading, writing, and riding a bike are learned behaviors.
