Summary Introduction
Introduction: The action of behavior is carried by the muscles in control of nervous system in response to environmental stimulus. Thus the behavior of animal is the response from internal and external environmental stimulus. Although observed actions also considered the behavior of animal like aggressive posture or secretion of particular chemical to mark the territory and to attract mate. Even the process of learning is also considered the part of behavior.

- Suppose a person does a study on tail length in skinks (a type of lizard). She measures the tail length of 10 Southeastern Five-lined Skinks and 10 Broad-headed Skinks. (Look these up on Google if you want to see what they look like!) The average tail length of her Southeastern Five-lined Skinks is 12.7 cm, and the average tail length of her Broad-headed Skinks is 13.2 cm. What can she conclude at this point? Question 5 options: Broad-headed Skinks, on average, have longer tails than Southeastern Five-lined Skinks Southeastern Five-lined Skinks, on average, have longer tails than Broad-headed Skinks She doesn't have an answer yet because she hasn't analyzed the tail length data The two skink species most likely have the same average tail lengtharrow_forwardWhat is the selective factor, or selective environment, for rock pocket mice?
