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.
cite examples of how genetic engineering is currently being used.

Word Bank Selective breeding Hybrid Population Real Crop species Diverse Traits Domestic Uniform Artificial CLOZE 3 occurs when humans take control of the breeding process. The favorable to be passed on are chosen by the breeder to create a new or improved variety. Farmers have bred like corn, to produce more food in a smaller area. These plants result by crossing parent plants for their desired traits. animals, like dog breeds, have also been bred to be incredibly compared to the diversity of their ancestors. This selecting of traits is also known as selection. Similar to natural selection, the of a species changes over time, and some traits become more common.arrow_forwardwhat are some examples of how genes control physical structures and functions of organisms?arrow_forwardRoot hair cells are specialised cells.

Fat is a good form of energy storage because it provides the most energy per unit mass: 1.00 grams of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories, compared to 4.20 (food) Calories per 1.00 grams of carbohydrate. Remember that Calories associated with food, which are always capitalized, are not exactly the same as calories used in physics or chemistry, even though they have the same name. More specifically, one food Calorie is equal to 1000 calories of mechanical work or 4184 joules. Therefore, in this problem use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4184 J. Figure 1 of 1 Part A Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate of 3.70 W (this rate represents the power consumption of the bird).
