Adaptive ability is the action of adjusting to new foreign surroundings or conditions.
Adaptive ability depends on the genetic makeup of the person.
The adaptive ability helps the individual to better adjust to changing surrounding environment.
Hence, the adaptive ability is inherited from parents.
For example, children learn to inherit and adapt real skills like, grooming, getting dressed, avoiding danger, safe food handling, following school rules, managing money, cleaning, and making friends with their parents.
