- Which of the following statements about the "greenbeard" effect is correct? Richard Dawkins first hypothesized the existence of the "greenbeard" allele to explain why we observe some unusual phenotypes, such as green beard. According to the hypothesis, the reason why the greenbeard phenotype is selected for is because the greenbeard individuals would preferentially receive altruistic benefit from non-greenbeard individuals. The reason why the "greenbeard" hypothesis is possible is because when direct fitness and indirect fitness are in conflict, it is always the factors that increase the direct fitness that will triumph over the factors increasing the indirect fitness. The "greenbeard" effect shows that it is possible to evolve altruistic behavior toward individuals who are not genetic kin.arrow_forwardCaptive-bred trout reduce the fitness of wild populations. 1.0 0.8 0.6- 0.4 0.2 Relative fitness 0 Wild Captive Captive × Wild Wild Captive What can be said about the fitness of wild steelhead trout populations and captive-bred steelhead trout? (see figure above) The gene flow between hatchery-reared and wild populations is leading to a decline in fitness of wild populations. This data does not help us understand effects of gene flow on fitness. The gene flow between hatchery-reared and wild populations is neither helping nor hindering the fitness of the wild population. The gene flow between hatchery-reared and wild populations is increasing the fitness of the wild populations.arrow_forwardHow many times did the lophophore evolve and how does the lophophore differ among taxa?arrow_forward
