Summary Introduction
Introduction: Innate behaviors are those behaviors that are present in an animal from the birth. The animals need not to learn them or practice them. They are fixed in an individual early in the development.

Which of the following is true of innate behaviors that are described as instincts? A. Instincts aren’t governed by genetics, while innate behaviors are, B. Instincts are governed by genetics, while innate behaviors are not, C. Instincts are sudden, situational behaviors, D. Instincts are complex series of innate behaviors
Cooperative behaviour is widely found among animals. Provide the following:
1) an example of cooperative behaviour between genetically related individuals
2) an example of cooperative behaviour between unrelated individuals. For each of the examples, also describe the mechanism(s) involved in maintaining cooperative behaviours during their interactions.
According to Hamilton’s rule,(A) natural selection does not favor altruistic behavior thatcauses the death of the altruist.(B) natural selection favors altruistic acts when the resultingbenefit to the recipient, corrected for relatedness, exceedsthe cost to the altruist.(C) natural selection is more likely to favor altruistic behaviorthat benefits an offspring than altruistic behavior thatbenefits a sibling.(D) the effects of kin selection are larger than the effects ofdirect natural selection on individuals.

One of these strategies is the ability to learn. As we discussed, not every animal can learn and there are clear costs and benefits to this strategy. Suggest one benefit of the ability to learn and one potential cost. Briefly explain each. (1-2 sentences for each) Since learning is not universal, under which circumstances would it be most likely be a successful strategy? We discussed a framework that examines the influence of predictability on the success of learning ability. Describe this framework. Make sure you discuss all the available conditions and clearly state under which we would expect learning to be successful and where we would not expect it to be successful. What would be an alternative strategy to regulate behaviour when learning is not suitable? Briefly explain your choice. (2-3 sentences)arrow_forward

In this task, a food reward is placed in one of two arms of a T. Over many trials, a rodent is required to learn which arm contains the reward. In an experiment to determine whether the gene Homeriav is involved in memory, a mouse was trained on a T-maze. The results over five trials of training are shown: a. This task tests both innate and learned behaviors. Describe the innate behavior tested by this task. Explain how innate behaviors contribute to the survival of a species. b. A scientist reviewing this experiment notes that insufficient controls were performed to determine whether mutations in Homer1aV affects the function of physiological systems outside of the nervous system. Identify a physiological system outside of the nervous system that contributes to the performance of this task. Explain how the function of this system contributes to the task. c.
