Some characteristics like hair and eye colour, whether or not you can curl your tongue, your height, skin colour are all things that you inherit from your parents, also why you look like them. Other characteristics are not inherited, but could be a result of your surroundings. For example, fetal alcohol syndrom is not inherited from your mom, it is a result of your mom drinking when pregnant. Many birth defects in babies back in the 50's and 60's was a result of mothers taking thalidamide, a drug used to prevent morning sickness, a non-heritablecharacteristic!

What are the differences between heritable and non-heritable characteristics?
Heritable characteristics are passed down from parents to offspring through genetic inheritance, while non-heritable characteristics are acquired through environmental factors or experiences. Examples of heritable characteristics include eye color and blood type, while non-heritable characteristics include skills acquired through education or behaviors learned through social interactions.
What is the relationship between evolution and genetics?
mutation brings about variation which is the basis of evolution and the two types of variation are heritable and non-heritable
What is a heritable feature?
Heritability is the proportion of Phenotypic variation in a population that is attributable to genetic variation among individuals. Phenotypic variation among individuals may be due to genetic and/or enviromental factors. Heritability analyses estimate the relative contributions of differences in genetic and non-genetic factors to the total phenotypic variance in a population.
What are the examples of heritable and non heritable traits?
Non- Inherited characteristics are not developed at birth. You learn them in life for example: Riding a bicycle, using a computer, Liking a sport, adding and subtracting, to speak one or more languages. Hope this helps :)
Which trait, if either, is likely to respond to selection?
Traits that are heritable are more likely to respond to selection, as they can be passed down from one generation to the next. Non-heritable traits are less likely to respond to selection, as they are not influenced by genetic factors.
How does genetic variation and mutations relate to each other?
