- According to Hamilton's Rule, in which scenario is selection for cooperative breeding expected to be the strongest? but lose the chance to have Helpers raise and increase the survival and reproduction of of their own offspring. O 100 additional 2nd cousins twice removed to whom they are 0.00781 (0.781%) genetically related; 2 of their own offspring. 60 additional 1st cousins once-removed to whom they are 0.0625 (6.25%) genetically related; 1 of their own offspring. O 50 additional grandnieces/nephews to whom they are 0.125 (12.5%) genetically related; 2 of their own offspring. None of the three scenarios are likely to result in the evolution of cooperative breeding according to Hamilton's Rule.arrow_forwardTwo males are fighting for territory that will increase the probability of mating success.
