Explanation

Innate behavior is also referred to as instinctive behavior, as it is inherited and has no environmental influence. It is the instinctive response of an organism towards a stimulus. It is controlled by the individual's genetic makeup. Tropism, taxis, kinesis, irritability, and reflex are some types. Imprinting, habituation, and classical conditioning are all types of learned behavior; skills that are acquired over time.
