- What is fitness? To what degree does fitness dependon the environment in which organisms live?arrow_forwardClarify the difference between claiming that, a) some behaviours are genetically determined, versus b) some differences among individuals in behavioural phenotype are genetically determined. Are both claims valid in some circumstances? Use any suitable example you know about to justify your answer.arrow_forwardWhat is NOT one of the 5 components of fitness??arrow_forward
- Does fitness(as used in biology) and survival have the same meaning? Why or why not?arrow_forwardHow does group selection theory explain the altruistic behavior of animals and why is this explanation problematic for advocates of inclusive fitness theory?arrow_forwardHow can behaviors be adaptive? Provide an example that includes support from the five tenants of evolution by natural selection: 1) overproduction of offspring, 2) variation in the population, 3) competition for resources, 4) adaptive advantage for some, and 5) reproduction for those who survivearrow_forward
- What is individual variation? Provide specific types of individual variation of behaviorarrow_forwardWhat effect does the level at which natural selection operates (genes, individuals, or groups) have on human free will?arrow_forwardUsing the concept of inclusive fitness (and kin selection), explain how altruistic behavior (e.g. where an individual protects for another, even at their own expense) can evolve by natural selection? Make sure to explain what inclusive fitness is. (remember the concentric circles on the slide)arrow_forward
- What is evolutionary fitness?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_forwardWhich form of conditioning is used most for behavior modification? Why does this form work better? Why would Classical Conditioning help someone in their daily life functioning? Which form of conditioning would you most likely see in a classroom setting? Create your own examples of each form of conditioning. Be sure to include the following information in your answer. In addressing classical conditioning: Identify UCS, UCR, NS, CS, and CR. Discuss any stimulus generalization that you observed. Discuss any extinction and spontaneous that occurred. In addressing operant conditioning: Identify negative and positive reinforcements and punishments. Label the schedule of reinforcement or punishment.arrow_forward
