Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that animal behavior is a response to a stimulus, which means it is a reaction to an external or internal event or change.
Recognize that animal behavior can be modified through experience, indicating that animals can learn and adapt their behaviors based on past interactions or events.
Identify that behaviors can be influenced by genetic factors, meaning that some behaviors are inherited and can be observed across generations within a species.
Consider the statement 'It is always learned and never innate.' Innate behaviors are those that are present from birth and do not require learning or experience to be exhibited.
Conclude that the statement 'It is always learned and never innate' is not characteristic of animal behavior, as many behaviors are innate and not learned.
