Which of the following statements is true about certainty of paternity? Question 12 options: Certainty of paternity is low when egg laying and mating occur together, as in external fertilisation. Certainty of paternity is high in most species with internal fertilisation because the acts of mating and birth are separated by time. Certainty of paternity is low when males guard females they have mated. Paternal behaviour exists because it has been reinforced over generations by natural selection

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.
