In the species Chinchilla chinchilla, Neotropical crepuscular rodent of the parvorder Caviomorpha, a mating between a homozygous long-tailed chinchilla male and a homozygous short chinchilla female will produce all medium length tail chinchilla offspring. When these medium length tail chinchilla offspring F₁ are mated, their offspring consists of 3 tail-less chinchillas, 24 long-tailed chinchillas, 120 medium-length tailed chinchillas, and 15 short-tailed chinchillas. What genetic interaction may be occurring in this population? Please explain

Animal Behavior

Animal behavior can be defined as all the things that animals do. In response to a stimulus, an animal performs a certain fixed action pattern, or FAP, of behavior. This response occurs to make the animal more adaptable to change. So, behavior is generally a stimulus-oriented response. A behavior is an expression of the capabilities of the nervous system. A stimulus is determined by the environment, while the nervous system determines a response.
