What are 4 conditions in which natural selection favors altruistic behaviors in which the individual performs costly actions to benefit others?
The“unsuccessful mutualists” in Kathleen Keeler’s cost-benefit model ofmutualism are those that:a.give benefits to their partner, but fail to receive benefits in return.b.receive benefits from their partner, but fail to provide benefits inreturn.c.neither give benefits to their partner, nor receive them in return.d.fail to locate individuals of their mutualistic partner effectively.e.locate mutualistic partners, but fail to overcome their defenses againstcolonization.
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.

- 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.arrow_forwardBriefly explain each of the four conditions under which natural selection can favor the evolution of altruistic behaviors, in which individuals perform costly actions to benefit others.arrow_forwardlearned and innate behavior a)Is fear a learned or innate behavior? b) What is the major difference between these two behaviors? c)Give one example of a learned behavior and one of innate behaviorarrow_forward
- 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 behaviorsarrow_forwardHow can altruism be adaptive if it can result in fewer offspring for an individual?arrow_forwardHamilton's Rule describes the relationship between cost and relationship in the evolution of altruistic behavior. Which of the following do not support Hamilton's rule: In colonies of Naked Mole Rates, only one female is reproductive. Cattle egrets sometimes kill their siblings. Wood mouse sperm will sacrifice themselves to assist a "sibling" sperm to fertilize an egg. O A Prairie Dog trills in response to an oncoming predator and is more likely to be eaten because it exhibits this behavior.arrow_forward
- Do animals benefit their own biological fitness if they sacrifice food or a chance to breed and thereby allow their kin to have more offspring? Is such behavior true altruism? Why or why not?arrow_forwardDistinguish between proximate and ultimate causes of behavior and apply theconcepts of ultimate cause and cost–benefit analysis to decide whether a particularbehavior is adaptive.arrow_forwardHow much of our behavior is determined by our genes versus the environment? Provide two examples of why or why not.What do you think are the pros and cons for an individual if they believe genes determine their behaviors? What are the pros and cons for individuals if they believe nature determines their behaviors? What do you think are the implications for society if we put a lot of weight on nature or nurture?arrow_forward
- The frustration-regression principle of the ERG theory explains that when a barrier prevents an individual from obtaining a higher-level need, a person may “regress” to a lower-level need (or vice versa) to achieve satisfaction. Group of answer choices True False provide the correct answerarrow_forwardThe idea that behavior must be either innate or learned has been called a “nature versus nurture” controversy. What reasons are there for believing that such a strict dichotomy does not exist?arrow_forwardQ1:Communication occurs when A) the stimulus-response reaction is altered. B) information flows in both directions. C) information is shared. D) an action by one individual alters the behavior of another. Q2. Bateman's principle states that, A) heritability of male traits is higher than for female traits. females experience greater variation in reproductive success than males. male and female reproductive success must be equal. males experience greater variation in reproductive success than femalesarrow_forward
