Chapter 35, Problem 7TYK
Summary Introduction
To determine: The cause for the link between maternal behavior and stress response of offspring as the Norway rat offspring whose mother don’t interact much with them grow up to be fearful and anxious in new situations.
Concept introduction:
The action of behavior is carried by the muscles in control of nervous system in response to environmental stimulus but it is also influenced by the interactions of genetic information of the organism with its surrounding environment. Thus behavior is product of both environmental and genetic factors.

In the initial encounter with the male intruder, resident male Cray fish showed extreme aggressive behaviors towards the intruder but after getting injected with octopamine, the resident male showed less aggression towards intruder males compared to their initial encounter. Based on what you know about serotonin an octopamine function, does the above situation of the injection octopamine makes sense? What might explain this and why do you say so?
Also, what fitness benefits might a crayfish that shows dominance behaviors and a crayfish that shows subordinate behaviors gain?
Explain whether the data is consistent with the hypothesis that titin's spring like behavior is due to the sequential unfolding of individual Ig domains.
Behavioral complexity in animals is controlled by a variety of potential sources or types of design information. Of these various sources which is most directly responsible for the difference in behavioral sophistication between contemporary humans and non-humans animals?

- A scientific study demonstrated that rat mothering behavior impacts the stress response in their pups. Rats that were born and grew up with attentive mothers showed low activation of stress-response genes later in life, while rats with inattentive mothers had high activation of stress-response genes in the same situation. An additional study that swapped the pups at birth (i.e., rats born to inattentive mothers grew up with attentive mothers and vice versa) showed the same positive effect of attentive mothering. How do genetics and/or epigenetics explain the results of this study?arrow_forwardWhat insight about the genetic basis of behavior emerges fromstudying the effects of courtship mutations in fruit flies and ofpair-bonding in voles?arrow_forwardIn the experiment of the impacts of sedative and hypnotic acivities in MEJP leaves, does the different behavioral models in mice are the independent variables while the amount of dosage is the dependent variables?arrow_forward

- Animals 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_forwardTo study the control of sex hormones on behavior, researchers may remove an animal’s ovaries or testes and then inject the animal with an estrogen or androgen of interest to see what behavioral effects they have. What advantage does this technique have over another approach, which is simply to measure the concentrations of specific hormones in the blood of animal subjects from time to time?arrow_forwardHow would mutations that completely ablate the function of the androgen receptor impact the phenotypic development of humans with XY chromosomes? a. Patients would appear phenotypically female. b. Patients would appear phenotypically male with underdeveloped secondary sex characteristics. c. Patients would appear phenotypically male, but cannot produce sperm. d. Patients would express both male and female secondary sex characteristics.arrow_forward
- Why imprinting is considered as a learned behavior and not an innate behavior?arrow_forwardAn experiment was carried out to investigate proximate mechanisms of behavioural phase change in the locust Locusta fictiva (Figure 2 below). Solitarious locusts were injected with XDA, a dopamine receptor antagonist, either 1 h before or immediately after crowding them for 4 h (N=30 each). A control group of solitarious locusts received a saline injection 1 h before crowding (N=30). Locusts of all three groups were then observed in a behavioural arena to determine their probability of gregariousness (Pgreg). Briefly describe the result and discuss what conclusions you can draw about the proximate mechanism of phase change in this species.arrow_forwardwhat are the strengths and weaknesses of the studys in each article of the 4 articles? the 4 research articles are: orebrain control of behaviorally-driven social orienting in zebrafish by Sarah J.
