Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “animals often deal with competition for
Introduction:
Animals always compete with each other for space, food, and mating. In case the food resources are limited, the animals tend to become fierce, which may be detrimental to all the animals. Thus, in order to make the feeding sustainable, animals acquire skills, which may not always be conflicting.

Choose the true statement about innate behaviors from the list: Innate behaviors tend to vary considerably among members of a population. Innate behaviors occur in invertebrates and some vertebrates but not in mammals. Innate behaviors are expressed in most individuals in a population across a wide range of environmental conditions. Genes have very little influence on the expression of innate behaviors. Innate behaviors are limited to invertebrate animals. In different species, there are sometimes very sensitive periods in their lives when a particular behavior or skill needs to be learned. This is called classical conditioning. altruism. fixed action behavior.…arrow_forwardWhat is the adaptive value of a fixed action pattern in animal behavior?arrow_forwardDuring mating season, males of certain species will perform displays of aggression toward other males when approached while they are courting a female.
