Question
Chapter 42.4, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
According to Hamilton, the altruistic gene is favored by the process of natural selection when rB>CHere, r is the coefficient of relatedness, B is the recipient of the benefits, and C is the cost by the donor. The coefficient of relatedness determines how close the organism is related to another one. This helps in determining if the sacrifice is valuable or not.
