Differentiate between instinctive and learned behavior

What will be an ideal response?


Instinct is the behavior that is set in an animal at birth and causes the animal to respond automatically to an environmental stimulus. This behavior is a result of genetics and is not something the animal learns. Learned behavior is something animals learn as they grow. One of the most basic types of learned behavior is imprinting, which means the animal will attach itself to or adopt another animal or object as its companion or parent.
