Introduction:
Human is a social animal. He lives in a society with other persons and organisms. Due to this fact, he develops a way, or an attitude or thinking of a particular person or group of persons and he reacts to him/her accordingly. This way or attitude in which a person acts of others or towards himself or towards others is called his behavior.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
The correct answer is the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? Therefore option c. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
Behavior of a person depends on many factors like the interaction, attitude of others, fondness and some other factors. If a particular person or any organism has a threat from other person or organism or has a liking for some or the person or thing or any organism he or she develops a protective and a restrictive behavior for that particular person or organism.
Option c. is given as “How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness?”.
As, “the question - How do alarm calls affect prairie dog fitness? highlight the behavior and the relation of alarm and the prairie dog”, is the right answer.
Hence, option c. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “How does a squid alter its color to blend in with its environment?”
This question enquires and gives a hint about the process not about a behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option b. is given as “How does a hummingbird's body shape influence its ability to hover?”
This question depicts a process and is not related to behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option d. is given as “Which cues do monarch butterflies use during migration?”
This question asks about the type of monarch butterflies and not about their behavior. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.
The behavior of an organism shows or tells about the way in which any person, animal or any organism gives response to any particular condition.

Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density.
