. Hamilton suggests altruistic behaviors are favorable when A. cost/benefit is greater than the coefficient of relationship B. cost/benefit is less than the coefficient of relationship C. benefit/cost is less than the coefficient of relationship D. None of the above Hamilton's rule (where r is the degree of relatedness, B is the benefit to the recipient, and C is the cost to the altruist) predicts that natural selection should favor altruistic acts under certain circumstances. Which of the following circumstances are unlikely to lead to selection favoring altruism? A. B is small B. C is large C. ris small D. All of the above If the last slice of pizza is worth 4 to you and is worth 7 to your mother, then according to Hamilton's rule A. you should take the last slice of pizza. B. you should give the last slice of pizza to your mother. C. you should cut the last slice of pizza in half and take half for you and give half to your mother.. D. None of the above, Hamilton's rule cannot be used to address this issue.

According to Hamilton’s rule,(A) natural selection does not favor altruistic behavior thatcauses the death of the altruist.(B) natural selection favors altruistic acts when the resultingbenefit to the recipient, corrected for relatedness, exceedsthe cost to the altruist.(C) natural selection is more likely to favor altruistic behaviorthat benefits an offspring than altruistic behavior thatbenefits a sibling.(D) the effects of kin selection are larger than the effects ofdirect natural selection on individuals.
An individual bird may behave apparently altruistically in a way that decreases its own fitness (by cost C) yet increases the fitness of another individual or set of individuals (by benefit B each). According to Hamilton’s Rule, if natural selection favors this behavior to help four grandchildren, it should also be favored when the recipients are Group of answer choices eight first cousins All the given answers are correct two siblings four nieces

Sexual selection is the differential reproductive success due to variation in acquiring mates or mating success. d. Sexual selection is the differential survival success due to variation in avoiding mates or mating success.
How 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 survive

You are working on an undergraduate project, studying an insect species. A recent study showed that the pigmentation pattern used for camouflage is made by an enzyme K. However, it has been shown that, when compared to the Kk individuals, the KK homozygotes would have a higher chance of dying from pigment overdose before growing up, while the kk individuals can easily fall to predation before becoming adults. In fact, when compared to the Kk individuals, the estimated selection coefficients for KK and kk are 0.25 and 0.5, respectively. You are interested in what would happen to these alleles. At present, you have conducted a population survey and have 1000 larvae in your collection. Among them, 360 are KK, 480 Kkand 160 kk. 1)How many larvae would survive to adulthood a) 170 b) 414 c)583 d)750 e)830 2)Following up the previous question, what would be the KK genotype frequency at the adult? a) 0.090 b) 0.270 c) 0.325 d) 0.360 e) 0.529 3)Following up on the previous question,…
