Summary Introduction
Introduction: The natural selection is a process in which the selection of the better adaptable organisms occurs through a non random process. It is depend upon the better strategies that makes an organism more suitable to a particular environment. It is heritable entity, which inherit from one generation to the other, and vary in fitness.

- Q1: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_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_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes findings from the study of siblings and the effects of birth order? A Robust effects have not been found for sibling differences based solely on birth order. Research indicates that intelligence becomes diluted with more children in the family. C) Undeniable data reveal that available resources account for different child outcomes. D Evolutionary pressures to survive account for similarity in firstborns and later-borns.arrow_forward
- Which of the following examples describe an adaptive trait? (Select all that apply.) (a) A rainforest tree that is vulnerable to storm damage. (b) A male bird that is more successful than others at attracting a female mate. (c) A rabbit that is better camouflaged in its environment. (d) A desert plant that is able to survive drought. (e) A frog that is more noticeable to predators.arrow_forwardDefine natural selection using the 5 points below to explain its role in understanding primate behavior. (1) there is variation among individuals; (2) some of that variation is heritable; (3) there is always competition between individuals for resources; (4) some variants outcompete other variants and leave more offspring; (5) to the extent that the parent's traits are heritable, then a larger portion of the next generation will reflect those traits.arrow_forwardLiving things can inherit behavior, learn it from other creatures, or change their behavior because of their environment. Which example describes learned behavior in a living thing? A) Sunflowers turn to face the Sun to help them grow. B) Most humans begin to speak when they are one or two years old. C) Glowing Click Beetles can produce light from the back of their head for protection. D) A sea turtle that hatches on a beach will crawl toward the ocean.arrow_forward
- What is the relationship of evolution and human behavior?arrow_forwardAnimals have evolved a range of strategies to successfully respond to threats and challenges. One of these strategies is the ability to learn. As we discussed, not every animal can learn and there are clear costs and benefits to this strategy. Suggest one benefit of the ability to learn and one potential cost. Briefly explain each. (1-2 sentences for each) Since learning is not universal, under which circumstances would it be most likely be a successful strategy? We discussed a framework that examines the influence of predictability on the success of learning ability. Describe this framework. Make sure you discuss all the available conditions and clearly state under which we would expect learning to be successful and where we would not expect it to be successful. What would be an alternative strategy to regulate behaviour when learning is not suitable? Briefly explain your choice. (2-3 sentences)arrow_forwardYou are wandering in the Amazon rainforest, when you hear the loud call of an animal. You walk in the direction of the sound, and discover that it is coming from an adorable species of frog. a) What type of adaptation is being displayed by this species of frog? b) Describe how selection could work FOR and AGAINST this adaptation.arrow_forward
- Which research question does not refer to proximate causes of behavior? a.) How do rhesus macaques find their food? b.) how do pigeons that are experimentally displaced find their way back to their home loft? c.) How does dispersal affect the survival of Belding's ground squirrels? d.) Do mother goats learn the odor of their offspring? e.) How do hummingbirds “know” when it is time to return to their overwintering grounds?arrow_forward|(A) A well trained alien biologist visiting earth would be able to tell that the mating system of gorillas is strongly polygynous and that of man's weakly polygynous. How could he/she/it tell this just by looking at gorillas and humans? (B) Is harem polygyny an ESS or have "cheater" behaviors evolved to exploit or exist within these systems? (C) If your answer was yes then describe a cheater behavior within a polygynous system.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about evolutionary psychology? a. Natural selection works differently in humans than other animals. b. It is easy to test evolutionary hypotheses by doing experiments. c.Most social behaviors are genetically determined with little influence by the social environment. d. Evolutionary approaches can generate novel hypotheses about social behavior that can then be tested with experiments.arrow_forward
